Otters generally live 15-20 years, some up to 20. But wild otters face complex, dangerous environments and get sick or preyed upon, so they live shorter. Otters are burrowing, resting by day and active at night.
They are solitary and good at diving and swimming, grouping only in breeding season, and can breed year-round, producing 1-5 pups per litter.
