on’t worry if you missed celebrating World Otter Day, we’ve got you covered.
B.C. is home to two species. Sea otters spend their lives in the ocean – they mate, sleep, groom, hunt, and give birth in the water.
River otters are more regularly seen in the region – cavorting, capitulating, consuming or simply creating chaos at the shoreline. The two species are often confused, but river otters are also aquatic mammals equally at home in rivers or coastal areas of the ocean. River otters spend much more time on land, according to the BC SPCA.
The agency’s Wildlife Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Metchosin, celebrated the May 28 milestone sharing video of an ‘otter’-ly adorable pair of river otters released in April.
While south Island animals offer fodder for adorable social media videos – a handful of the creatures are rather infamous.
