*** About River Otters: Highly adapted to aquatic life, river otters are found throughout North America, excelling in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Their thick, water-repellent coat of fur keeps them insulated against cold waters, making icy streams like the one depicted a perfect playground. Social and intelligent, otters often use complex communication and exhibit strong family ties, often seen playing or sliding down snowy or muddy hills. These joyful behaviors not only reinforce social bonds but also sharpen their hunting abilities, crucial for survival in the wild.
