FOOD Otters are carnivores (meat eaters). They eat crustaceans (animals with shells), amphibians, reptiles, birds and insects, but mostly fish. They use their keen sense of touch to find and catch their underwater target. Their sensitive facial whiskers easily detect moving prey. This is especially useful in the murky water created by the otter searching for victims on muddy lake and stream bottoms. Otters typically hunt by diving and chasing fish, or by digging in the bottom of ponds and streams. Although otters are expert divers, hunting is not always successful. One study found that the success rate of finding food on a dive was less than 20%.
