你在看“水獭”?('Otter' you looking at?)

顽皮、强壮的游泳运动员和专业的猎人——来看看水獭吧。这些生物是 发现于除南极洲和澳大利亚以外的所有大陆。它们的13个物种有各种形状和大小,从沿海水域发现的海獭到淡水栖息地嬉戏的河獭。在今天的图片中,可以看到在苏格兰西海岸美丽的穆尔岛上的欧亚水獭。水獭有网状的脚,流线型的形状和浓密的皮毛,它们在水下的速度和灵活性都很好。它们可以深潜并屏住呼吸几分钟。
原文:
Playful, strong swimmers and expert hunters—meet the otters. These creatures are found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia. Their 13 species come in various shapes and sizes, from the sea otters found in coastal waters to the river otters frolicking in freshwater habitats. Seen in today's image is the Eurasian otter on the beautiful Isle of Mull off the west coast of Scotland. With webbed feet, streamlined shapes and dense fur coats, otters are built for speed and agility underwater. They can dive deep and hold their breath for several minutes.
