Otter

Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Anonymous

Otters are amphibious (or in one case aquatic) carnivorous mammals. The otter subfamily Lutrinae forms part of the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, polecats, badgers, as well as others. With 13 species in 7 genera, otters have an almost worldwide distribution.

An otter's den is called a holt . Male otters are dog-otters , females are bitches and babies are cubs or pups . The collective noun romp is sometimes used for a group of otters, being descriptive of their often playful nature. Otter dung is called spraint (or sometimes scat as for many other carnivores) – in the Eurasian otter at least this has a not unpleasant, perfume-like smell.
