Otters (9/9)

List item

Both river otters and sea otters are members of the weasel family and they are primarily aquatic, eating fish, frogs, salamanders, crayfish, snails, and even shellfish. Sea otters also use tools. They float upside down, with a rock on their chests, and will beat a snail or shellfish against it until it breaks.

River otters are one of the most playful wild animals that there is. They often spend many hours a day playing and even the adults get into the act.

As a bit of trivia, no animal in the world has denser fur than the otter. It is even denser than mink.
