The river otter is an animal that both adapts to water and land at the same time because it's feet let it go in water to swim and in land to walk. It looks like a beaver, but don't get fooled, it's actually has webbed feet that also have claws on them. They can be sometimes playful like a child, but hunts like a tiger! The river otter is a carnivore, meaning it eats meat, but it also like other thing like insects, birds, and even reptiles. Thats where its claws come in. The otters claws help it claw down its prey and eats it! But the bad part is that the otter also has animals that eat IT. The two animals that eat it are like wolves and alligators. It has much more animals that eat it, but those two are the most common. It also has swimming skills. The otter can swim like a pro! It can swim as fast as a killer whale!! Thats fast for a little critter. The otter actually almost got extinct because of pollution:(. The wetlands that we always tore down were there homes. We need to save wetlands! In the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago,IL, u can find it's exhibit at the Waters of Worlds where the octopuses are and in the water, you'll see the amazing River Otter that has a long tail, not long and diamond like a beaver! Visit the Shedd Aquarium and have fun! It's a great experience to see and also feel the animals! · **Upgrade**
