The Amazon River Otter thrives in the diverse ecosystem of the Amazon Basin. Known for their elongated bodies, webbed feet, and powerful tails, these otters are superb swimmers. Their dense, water-repellent fur, ranging in color from dark brown to reddish, is a key adaptation for their semi-aquatic lifestyle. Adult Amazon River Otters typically measure around 1.5 to 1.8 meters in length, with males being slightly larger than females. Their diet primarily consists of fish, crustaceans, and small mammals, showcasing their role as skilled predators in the aquatic food chain. Their whiskers, or vibrissae, play a critical role in detecting prey in murky waters.
