Otters typically create homes, called holts, in areas with abundant water and vegetation. They often use natural structures such as riverbanks, rock crevices, or dense vegetation to build their dens. Some otters also repurpose abandoned burrows of other animals or create their own by digging. These homes provide shelter for resting, breeding, and raising young.

Otters slap the water with their tails primarily as a form of communication. This behavior can signal alarm to other otters, alerting them to potential danger or predators in the area. Additionally, tail slapping can be a playful action, reinforcing social bonds among otters during group interactions. It also helps to create noise that can attract attention or establish territory.
