***About River Otters

*** River otters are agile, playful mammals known for their ability to adapt to various aquatic environments, including rivers, streams, and lakes. Highly social creatures, they form close familial bonds and are often spotted frolicking or sliding in the mud or snow. River otters possess a dense, water-repellent coat of fur, which provides insulation, and a streamlined body ideal for swimming. As versatile predators, they play a pivotal role in their ecosystem by maintaining a balance in aquatic life and indicating the health of their environment. Their presence in Texas underscores the state’s rich biodiversity and the importance of conservation efforts to sustain it.
