About this episode

This episode explores the adaptations and characteristics of otters, highlighting their playful nature and unique features.

Otters are found in rivers, lakes, coastlines, and oceans across much of the world. This episode explores how otters are adapted for life in the water, where they live, how they move through their environments, and the characteristics that distinguish them from other members of the weasel family. Along the way, you’ll hear about dense waterproof fur, webbed feet, streamlined bodies, and the behaviors that have made otters some of the world’s most recognizable mammals. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
