African Spotted-Necked Otter

Reid Park (Tucson) Zoo

"Otters are built for life in the water. They can close their ears and nostrils when underwater, and have great webbed feet and a strong tails for swimming fast.

You may see these animals rolling or rubbing against grass and rocks. This is one way they groom their fur.

Theses otters do not have much fat on their bodies, so they need their thick fur to keep them dry and warm in the water."

This is two Otters playing.
