*** About Otters: Otters, belonging to the family Mustelidae, are known for their playful behavior and remarkable adaptability to both water and land habitats. The otter depicted likely represents the North American river otter, common to Canadian waterways, including Nova Scotia. These otters thrive in riverine and coastal environments, where they skillfully hunt fish, crustaceans, and other aquatic creatures. Social and intelligent, otters use tools and complex hunting techniques that are passed down through generations. Their dense, water-repellent fur makes them well-suited to life in chilly waters, allowing them to maintain their warmth while diving and swimming. This image of otters in Halifax wonderfully highlights their playful nature and adaptability, traits that endear them to both locals and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
