Villager: Beatrix Otter

With a long, sleek, streamlined body and webbed feet, Beatrix Otter is a born swimmer. They are often seen floating on their back. Their thick fur traps air and makes them bouyant. They can be found in wet habitats such as freshwater rivers, lakes, oceans, coastlines, and marshes. They are a very social creature and loves to play. They like to slide off embankments into the water, wrestle with other otters, chase their tail, and participate in other fun games. They are very curious and like to investigate new things. They are also nocturnal, and hunt at night. They spend a good part of their day grooming themself. They clean their fur by biting it and scratching it against rocks, or rubbing it on logs or grass. They have two layers of fur; a dense undercoat that traps air, and a topcoat of long, waterproof hairs. Beatrix Otter is a carnivore, and eats a wide range of marine animals including mussels, clams, urchins, abalone, crabs, snails and about 40 other marine species, equaling about 25% of their weight in food each day.
