Catching prey



             Otters use their
             whiskers to hunt

             The Eurasian or common otter’s diet
             mainly consists of fish. However, they
             will also eat small amphibians, birds,
             crustaceans, and even small mammals.
             They catch their prey on land and in the
             water, and use their whiskers as sensors
             to feel out when their food is nearby,
             grabbing it with their retractable claws.
