*** About North American River Otters: North American river otters, a vibrant part of aquatic ecosystems, are known for their playfulness and agility in water. Adapted to both marine and freshwater environments, these mammals are essential for maintaining healthy aquatic habitats. They are excellent swimmers who can hold their breath underwater for up to 8 minutes and are often seen gliding through water with ease. Social creatures by nature, otters often engage in activities that strengthen familial bonds—playing being a prime example of such behaviors. Conservation efforts are crucial in ensuring that their populations remain robust, as they contribute significantly to the biodiversity of their habitats.
