Otters come in a wide variety. The most well-known among them are sea otters, European otters, and river otters.

Otters are animated creatures who enjoy playing in the water with their offspring. At the age of two, young otters begin to learn how to swim.

People adore baby otters, sometimes known as pups, because they appear helpless, innocent, and charming. Mothers and young sea otters, for instance, will occasionally hold hands while floating on their backs.

The otters hold hands while sleeping to prevent drifting away from one another and their food source. Additionally, they are covered with long strands of kelp as they sleep.

The kelp acts as an anchor, preventing them from floating away into the open ocean. To keep a pup from drifting away when it is young, the mother will hold it on her tummy. 

Despite their reputation as killers, otters can strike some of the sweetest poses for the camera. Because of this, online users consider otters to be among the cutest creatures.

Otters have furry bodies, which help them float and keep them warm in the winter. Otters truly appear to be the cutest animals, so we have gathered 40 images of them to prove this.

So, scroll down and enjoy these otter pictures!
