Otters basically have a free spirit; they take a nap on the shores and they love to fool around with friends. But once they are in the water, they become a merciless hunter that swiftly goes after their prey. Otters develop a strong bond between their family members. They live together as a group and raise their children at the waterside. Take a peek into their everyday lives.
