Otters

All species in Lutrinae, the otter subfamily, are carnivores. The diet of any given species of otter consists almost entirely of seafood, especially fish and crustaceans. Some otters (excluding the sea otter) sometimes also eat small mammels, but no species of otter includes vegetation as a significant part of its diet.

heck if i no

Otters are semi aquatic animals. the sub family of otters are Lutrinae which forms part of the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, badgers, polecats and wolevrines(not the x-man figure and if you dont know what it is WIKIPEDIA it!). They mainly eat aquatic animals and small birds and small mammels (e.g mice, doormice etc)

I believe a river otter ate my corn because had it been a raccoon it would've taken the whole cob but no, it just ate the kernals right off the plant.

Otters have 5 webbed toes on all 4 feet. Their back feet are more flipperlike for swimming.

According to a study done at Stanford, 87%.

There are otters found in Scotland. It should be noted that they are not technically 'sea' otters as these are a sub species found along the coast of Japan, Canada and USA. Otters found in Scotland are Eurasian or European otters.

It is possible your friend has Lutraphobia. This is the phobia of otters.

seals, sea lions, walruses . :D

No, otters do spend a lot of time in the water, but they also have four functioning legs. They come up on land for many reasons.

All continents exept the arctic/antarctic

no.

With their dams

Otters experience seasonal changes primarily in their fur and behavior. In colder months, they grow a thicker fur coat to insulate against low temperatures, while in warmer months, they shed this fur to stay cool. Additionally, their activity levels may vary with the seasons, as they may hunt more during warmer months when prey is abundant and alter their breeding patterns based on seasonal changes. These adaptations help otters thrive in their aquatic habitats throughout the year.

The sea slug utilizes the energy saved from not needing to find food for various vital processes, such as growth, reproduction, and maintaining its metabolic functions. This energy can also be redirected towards enhancing its defenses, such as producing chemicals for protection against predators. Additionally, it may use the surplus energy to expand its habitat range or engage in more complex behaviors, increasing its chances of survival and reproduction.

People may not be motivated to save sea otters due to a lack of awareness about their ecological importance and the threats they face. Additionally, sea otters are often viewed as less charismatic compared to other endangered species, leading to less public interest and support. Economic factors, such as the perception that conservation efforts may not directly benefit local communities, can also diminish motivation. Lastly, competing priorities and environmental issues may overshadow the need for sea otter conservation.

Yes, there are otters in the Illinois River. The North American river otter, a native species, has been observed in various parts of the river and its surrounding habitats. Conservation efforts and habitat restoration have contributed to the increase of otter populations in the region. They are often seen in waterways, marshes, and wetlands throughout the area.

North American beavers are not endangered.
