The river otter's diet consists mainly of fish, crayfish, and other aquatic invertibrates. They are often found in pairs, weigh about 10 kg, are about 1 to 1.5 meters long, can swim at speeds up to 29 km per hour and hold thier breath for up to 8 minutes. These river otters are very energetic and put on a playful display.
