Lifelong Friends Oswell Otter illustrate that beneath the most playful clowns there is usually a most serious heart. Look deep and see you in me. Otters may attain a length of 30 in, with a tail half as long as the body. An otter can close their ears and nostrils when diving. The fur is chestnut, the legs are short but strong, and the webbed feet have claws.
Otters live in dens, usually by the side of water and with an underwater entrance to the den.
Otter litters range from one to five pups, which stay with the mother for about a year. With her tail up, Rosie our grey Squirrel is waiting for a handout. The squirrel uses its tail for many things, its primary function is for balance. This enables the squirrel to maneuver quickly without falling. It is also used as a parachute, should the squirrel fall.
