“I enjoy watching playful river otters in the pond behind my house. They are always on the move, dipping and diving in the water.”
– Suzanne Tate

“These little fur balls are very good swimmers and can stay underwater for three to four minutes at a time. Otters are very much like you boys and girls, because they spend most of their time playing.”
– Michael R. Greyson

“The otter is a great wanderer, who not only traverses long stretches of coast and follows streams and rivers to their source, but crosses hills and even mountains to reach its fishing-grounds.”
– J. C. Tregarthen

“Sea otter fur ranges from brown to almost black with guard that be silver, light brown, or black. As a sea otter ages, their hands and necks will lighten until almost white.”
– Jack Dickerson
“Otters seem to make slides for fun. They will often slide down a muddy bank into the water, climb out, and do the whole thing again.”
– Michael Leach
