🦦💦 Wildlife Wednesday: Meet the River Otter! 💦🦦

River otters are playful, energetic mammals that spend much of their time in and around rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Excellent swimmers, they're often seen diving for fish or sliding along muddy and snowy riverbanks for fun.
Fun facts about the River Otter:

River otters can stay underwater for several minutes while searching for food.

Their dense fur helps keep them warm in cold Northern BC waters.

They use their whiskers to detect movement and locate prey underwater.

Otters are known for their playful behaviour, often sliding and wrestling with one another.
