HABITAT:
River otters live in coastal waters and on rocky shores.

DIET:
River otters are opportunitistic feeders and prey on a variety of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including perch, sculpin, flatfish, crayfish, mussels, frogs, as well as diving birds.

PREDATORS:
River otters often escape predation -- birds of prey, coyotes and other large animals -- through their agility in the water and on land.
