非常重要(Otterly important)
它们像毛茸茸的鱼雷一样在水中滑行,像操场上的孩子一样在河岸上滚动,在打盹时牵手。水獭是大自然顽皮的恶作剧者,但它们的未来并非一帆风顺。许多物种受到栖息地破坏、污染和非法野生动物贸易的威胁。但事情不必如此。在5月的最后一个星期三世界水獭日,让我们了解这些可爱的哺乳动物面临的挑战,并帮助保护它们在野外的位置。

They slip through the water like furry torpedoes, roll on riverbanks like children on a playground and hold hands while they nap. Otters are nature's playful pranksters, but their future isn't all smooth sailing. Many species are threatened by habitat destruction, pollution and illegal wildlife trade. But it doesn't have to be that way. On World Otter Day—the last Wednesday of May—let's shine a light on the challenges these lovable mammals face and help protect their place in the wild.
