River Otter
A semiaquatic mammal primarily endemic to North America, the river otter is actually a close relative of the weasel and shares many of the same habits and physical characteristics. However, it differs from weasels due to its webbed feet, powerful tail, and water-repellant fur.
Scientific Name: Lontra Canadensis
Characteristics: Did you know that a river otter’s tail makes up 40 percent of their full body length? Professionally sculpted and hand painted to ensure true-to-life scientific detail, this figurine is a wealth of wildlife knowledge!
Size and Color: River otters are always dark brown with an off-white chest and face. 1.5 inches tall and 3 inches long, this figurine is roughly the size of a deck of cards on its side.
