The North American river otter is a semiaquatic mammal native to freshwater habitats across North America, including rivers, lakes, and marshes. A member of the Mustelidae family—alongside weasels, ferrets, and minks—it is well-adapted to life in the water. With its streamlined body, webbed feet, and dense, insulating fur, the river otter is built for agile and efficient swimming.
