River otters are highly social, intelligent semi-aquatic mammals found in freshwater habitats across North America, Europe, and Asia. Known for their playful behavior, streamlined bodies, and dense fur that provides insulation in cold water, they are skilled hunters feeding primarily on fish. Once threatened by fur trapping and habitat loss, many river otter populations have recovered thanks to conservation efforts, making them a symbol of healthy aquatic ecosystems.
