There are many different kinds of otters. Some live near rivers, and some in the sea. Otters live on every continent（大洲）except for Australia and Antarctica. Otters are long and slim animals with four short legs. They usually stay on all four legs, but they can stand up as well. They are excellent swimmers and spend a lot of time in water，lively and energetic. Some kinds of otters live in groups, while others are almost always alone. They have a thick fur coat that keeps them warm even in freezing(极冷的) water. Their fur is often brown at the top, and lighter on the bottom of the otter. They eat meat and hunt for fish and small animals, so they have sharp claws(利爪) and teeth to catch prey（猎物）. Otters must eat a lot of meat to live, so they spend 3 to 5 hours per day fishing and hunting. They can die of hunger more quickly than most animals. They eat fish, crayfish, crabs and frogs. They will also eat any small animals and birds they can catch. Much of their food is found in water. They dive in rivers, lakes and streams until they can find an animal to eat. Once they catch it, they bring it to the top of the water. If the animal has a hard outer part, Otters can use a rock as a tool to break open it. ( ) 51. Otters are animals that stay .
