    Small-clawed otter

    The small-clawed otter has a body perfectly adapted for swimming. It has valves in its nostrils that close automatically when it dives, and webbed feet that make swimming a breeze. Plus, an otter’s fur doesn’t get wet easily! With a double coat consisting of thick, glossy, water-repellent fur and soft underfur, it’s highly effective at keeping them dry and warm. Have you ever seen an otter rubbing its body against things? There are two reasons for this. It’s either to mark its territory by leaving its scent, or to dry its wet fur.
