There are currently thirteen classified otter species: two live in saltwater and the rest spend a majority of their time around freshwater; however, while sea otters can technically live without land, freshwater otters need land to survive. Here they eat, play, rest, and more! Otters are well known as fun-loving and playful animals who can twist and twirl on river banks and floating debris. These mammals are wonderful to watch, but unfortunately their numbers are all on the decline.
