  An illustrated account of the lifestyles and habits of the different types of otters living throughout the world. The book looks at the dozen or so species living in freshwater rivers and lakes and also at the sea otter which lives along the Pacific coast of North America. The author describes the different sizes of otters, noting features common to all breeds. He also mentions their varying habitats and discusses how they adapt to moving on land and in the water. Otters can live both singly and in groups and an outline of their life cycle is given together with their feeding habits. The work concludes with details on how to look for otters and an assessment of their relationship with man and the effect of draining and pollution.
