Description
This adorable otter was at the Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford, MA. He just woke from a nap in his log, and the bright sun was bothering his eyes, so he kept closing them. He just looked so sweet with them shut, that I decided to take the shot like that.
River otters are found throughout most of North America from the Rio Grande to Canada and Alaska, except for in arid deserts and the treeless Arctic. They live in riparian zones, often in the same areas as beavers. Their aquatic habitats can be both marine and fresh water: streams, rivers, lakes, ponds and marshes.
They prefer unpolluted water with a minimal human disturbance. An extremely adaptable animal, otters tolerate hot and cold climates, as well as high elevations and lowland coastal waters.
