Otters

With its sleek body and webbed feet, the otter is an amazing swimmer and diver. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the aquatic mammal's anatomy, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and cub care. Its ocean and river habitats are described, too. A folktale from the Alutiiq people of Alaska explains the connection between the otter's long tail and its life on land and in the water.
