Otters are semiaquatic, web-footed carnivores in the weasel family, found throughout Africa, North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Otters have the same general proportions as weasels. Size varies among species, but total length is typically 3–7 ft, and weight is 6.5–60 lb. Otter fur is highly valued. Most species live near rivers, some live near lakes or streams, and the sea otter is completely marine. Otters eat small aquatic animals. They are inquisitive and playful; a favourite sport is sliding down mud or snow banks.
