Because the otter wears one of the most valuable coats known in the animal world, she can be a rare sight in North America. The Okefenokee Swamp is one area where the playful otter has found refuge.
Otters eat fish and other aquatic animals with occasional small mammals rounding out the diet.
The intelligent and friendly otter is often seen playing on mud slides, repeatedly running back to the top for another ride. Even as adults, they never seem to lose their love of play time, unlike most other mammals. A nomadic creature, the Florida black bear can come in several colors from dark black to a blonde-cinnamon color. The black color is most often seen in the Okefenokee area. Black bears are known to eat both meat and plants.
