Popping up to take a looksee, this otter was in a playful mood. Few animals are as cute, curious or as playful as the North American River Otter. By using their webbed feet and tails, they can swim up to seven miles per hour and they can stay underwater from four to six minutes but usually stay submerged from one to two minutes. As much as they are born to the water, pups must be taught to swim by their mothers. A group of otters is called a raft.
