Otter (Lutra canadensis)
The otter is located in most areas
of British Columbia, Canada. The otter is very adapt to the water and
is most comfortable in a marine environment. Its body is sleek with
short legs, a long tail and webbed toes. Its ears and nose can be closed
off when under water and is protected by the cold by the otter's layer
of fat. The otter can swim faster then most fish which makes it easier
for it to catch its meal. On the menu for the otter is turtles, snakes,
water fowl and muskrat.
The otter does not feel comfortable on land and
spends as little time as possible out of the water because of the fear
of attack by wolves and bears. In the water , the otter has nothing
to fear in most cases. Otters are very playful with each other, sliding
down mud slopes, popping up their heads beside paddling canoes.
