"River Otter" includes five different River Otter species, each listed on the IUCN, (International Union for Conservation ofNature), Red List. One of those River Otter species is considered, by some to be extinct another is listed as "endangered", while still another is listed as "near threatened". So, no matter which species they have in the exhibit, it is an example of the species effected by research, and conservation efforts. The River Otter can help teach about both it's endangered status, and the importance of keeping it's ecosystem the rivers, clean from trash and pollution. They are also naturally inquisitive, and playful, chasing their tails, sliding in snow and mud, juggling prey, and pebbles. They are fantastic swimmers, staying underwater up to four minutes at a time, diving up to 200 meters, and sometimes they will even cooperate together while hunting.
