In winter, river otters adapt to colder conditions by growing a thicker fur coat to insulate against the cold. They remain active, often using leads in the ice to hunt for fish, amphibians, and invertebrates. River otters may also use existing burrows or create dens in the snow or riverbanks for shelter and to raise their young. They are social animals, often seen playing and sliding on ice or snow, which helps them maintain their body temperature and stay agile.
