description About

If I were a wild animal, I'd be a River Otter. Now, some of you would probably be a Grizzly Bear, big and powerful. Or a Bald Eagle, beautiful and free. But as far as I'm concerned, a River Otter is the one animal that really knows how to live. This fun loving member of the weasel family finds a good time wherever it goes. It plays every chance it gets, it makes a game out of practically everything it does. It's a streamlined swimmer with a passion for downhill sliding, and it will climb up and slide down a river bank for hours on end. But the Otter has a serious side, too. It's a skilled hunter and a faithful parent. Both mother and father share in raising the young. So let's take a look at my favorite animal. We follow a family as their young grow up in these wild mountains of upstate New York, for this animal portrait "OTTERS OF THE ADIRONDACKS".
