what habitat do river otters live in
River otters can be found all across the United States except for in the desert and the Florida Keys. They live in both freshwater and slightly salty, brackish habitats.As their name suggests, they inhabit rivers, but they also inhabit lakes, as well.ince the otters keep their young on land, they need either vegetation or rock structures as shelters or dens. The Lontra Canadensis requires a large amount of space, often up to 50 miles. Development of cities, pollution, pesticides, and other man-made poisons destroys their habitat and decreases their numbers.
