Freshwater otters get their water from freshwater sources. Thus, species like the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis), the Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra), and the Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinerea) drink from the same rivers and lakes in which they swim. The sea otter, on the other hand, is specially adapted to its saltwater habitat. The sea otter's large kidneys process the saltwater that the otter drinks from the ocean, allowing the otter to live without need of freshwater.
