Otters for Kids | Learn all about these semi-aquatic mammals

Описание: Did you know that otters hold hands? This video for kids will teach you all kinds of fun tidbits of information about these cute creatures. Otters are adorable semi-aquatic mammals that live all around the world. They have long, slender bodies covered in thick, waterproof fur. Their fur keeps them warm and dry while swimming. Otters come in a range of colors depending on the species. Most otters have brown or dark-brown fur, which helps them blend in with their surroundings in rivers and forests.

Otters are skilled hunters with a varied diet, including fish, crabs, frogs, and even small mammals like water-rats. They use their sharp claws and strong jaws to catch and eat food. When hunting, they dive into the water and use their excellent swimming skills to chase after their prey. They can hold their breath for several minutes while they search for food under water.

Unfortunately, some otter populations are starting to disappear, which means they are endangered. This can happen because of pollution, habitat loss, and hunting. To help protect otters, people are working to keep their homes clean and safe and creating laws to protect these animals from harm.
