They slip through the water like furry torpedoes, roll on riverbanks like children on a playground, and hold hands while they nap.

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.
