    The North American river otter is a semiaquatic mammal that can grow up to 4 feet in length and weigh up to 30 pounds. It has thick, brown fur that is waterproof and keeps it warm in cold water. The male river otter is typically larger than the female, and he has a muscular build with short legs and webbed feet that are ideal for swimming and diving. His long, tapered tail helps him navigate through the water with ease, and his sharp claws allow him to grasp onto prey or climb onto logs or rock.
