Otters are expert hunters.

Otters are expert hunters.

   

Otters are known to be pretty incredible hunters, living off a diet of mostly seafood.

While river otters mostly live off fish, crayfish, and crabs, sea otters have a more interesting method of sustaining themselves.

Sea otters are known for their remarkable ability to use rocks to smash open shellfish to fill their stomachs.

Otters can be found in unpolluted waters all over the world in marshland, freshwater rivers, lakes, oceans, and coastlines.

There are 13 known species of otters, which range in size from 2.9 feet (90 cm) all the way to 5.9 feet (1.8 m) long!

In a bizarre turn away from their normal diet, there are some otters in the Shetland Islands in Scotland which have been known to hunt rabbits instead of fish.

Let’s hope they don’t develop a taste for people!
