River Otter in the Water
The Back Story:
River Otter
River otters are quick and agile, swimming up to 7 miles an hour by paddling with their webbed hind feet and using their long, tapering tails.
Their sensitive whiskers help them detect prey underwater. Their coats have two layers, guard hairs and under fur. The guard hairs protect the under fur from getting wet; this, in turn, provides an insulating barrier against cold water.
A river otter range is up to 40 miles of waterway, depending on the food available and the quality of the habitat. They are constantly on the move; they need to eat throughout the day to support their very high metabolism.
North American river otters are found throughout Alaska, Canada and the contiguous United States.
