The River Otter on an Ice-Covered Riverbank
A river otter perches on a smooth river rock alongside the frozen shoreline of a woodland stream in winter. These semi-aquatic mammals remain active throughout the cold season, relying on ice openings in rivers and streams to hunt for food beneath frozen surfaces.
Remarkable Winter Habits of River Otters
North American river otters do not hibernate, remaining fully active even when waterways freeze over completely. They possess extremely dense water-repellent fur featuring up to one hundred thousand hairs per square inch, which traps insulating air pockets against their skin. Otters often travel across frozen riverbanks by running a few paces and sliding on their bellies across smooth ice.
