The Otter



River otters eat fish, clam and urchins. They can hold their breath for 4 minutes. Family: Mustelidae. Scientific name: Lutra Canadensis. Sea otters pretty much have the same characteristics as the river otter. They eat the same things, too! We saw sea otters at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Kingdom: Animiala. Phylum: Chordata. Subphylum: Vertabrata. Class: Mammalia. Order: Carnivora. Family: Mustelidae. Subfamily: Lutrinae. Genus: Enhydra. Species: E. Lutris.

    I didn't know river otters and sea otters were pretty much the same. This is so cool that you boys are helping me learn things!

    The otters are so cute and one of my favorite animals. Good information about the otters too.
