Otters

Yes! Check the news sites for an otter attack that happened in South Florida. A few people were attacked and bitten as well as a dog. The otter did test positive after it was found floating in a lake.

No, they are endothermic

A pair of Asian otters will have babies once or twice per year, and the litter size can vary from one to six pups. They have a lifespan of about 11 to 16 years. Pups stay with their parents until the next litter is born. Therefor, a single pair of Asian otters could have as many as 90 pups during their lifetime.

The North American river otter camouflages in the water because of their brown-to-gray fur, and their undersides are a lighter, silvery shade.

it's known to have 4-1 pup(s) A year i think

how are otters and mice alike

NO. I don't think they do. If you are asking about sleeping the hold on to each other so they don't drift away. They might though to swim and not be carried away by currents

When a group of sea otters float around with each other because the look like they are a raft: The otters hang onto each other and even tie themselves to each other with kelp, like tying together a wooden raft with strinfg. So they don't drift apart from each other while sleeping! :)

No

--> Actually, yes they do. I live on the bayou near New Orleans, and a few otters have been stealing fish and crabs from my secure fish box and crab trap at the dock behind my home. Other nearby residents have spotted them as well.

I don't think it could grow 7 feet tall, but it might grow 7 feet long.

They are 2.5 inches smaller than a grizzly bear's paw.

Usually. If you provoke it's babies it'll bite you, not that they are venomous or anything. If you don't see any babies, it will be friendly. Just depends on it's business.

Otters can't breathe under water. They're mammals, they breathe air, with lungs. When they dive, they hold their breath.

The relatives of the Otter are the ferret, the wolverine, the ermine, the mink,and any others in the weasel family. Also the twotypes of Otters are the Sea Otter & the River Otter. click on this link for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel

Well unlike most marine mammals the sea otter has no blubber and thus relies on its exceptionally thick fur to keep warm. Otters in general need usually live in cold waters they have a very soft, insulated underfur which is protected by their outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water.

otters are very social, and are considered one of the most playful wild animals.

A female otter is called by the same name as a female dog. The male otter is called a dog, and the young are refered to as either kits, whelps or pups.

River otters sleep in their holt's (dens), which can be found under tree roots along river banks or in dense undergrowth adjacent to rivers. Natural holt's are becoming pretty rare nowadays, due to the removal of old riverbank trees; however conservation groups are providing artificial holt's in strategic places to allow their natural habitat to recover. Otters may have several holt's a long the river bank, which provide shelter when out feeding and patrolling their territories.
