Description

The second-largest of 13 species of otter in terms of length, the Northern River Otter is an aquatic mustelid. Males can reach lengths of up to 107cm (42in) with a 50cm (20in) tail, and weigh up to 14kg (31lbs), with females being slightly smaller. Like all otters, it is well adapted for aquatic life, featuring a streamlined body, short and powerful webbed feet and a tapered tail.

The Northern river otter is found across North America, most prominently in Canada and Alaska. Active all year round, they are a social species and families will often remain together, along with unrelated "helpers". Individuals will often play with each other, often in the form of chasing and wrestling. Despite its name, and although it is most common around freshwater habitats such as ponds and rivers, the Northern river otter is also found in coastal regions. It primarily hunts fish, but will also eat invertebrates such as crustaceans, amphibians and occasionally small mammals and birds.
