What is nutrias marinas?

Nutrias marinas, also known as marine otters, are a species of otter that are found along the coastlines of South America, particularly along the Pacific coast. They belong to the same family as river otters.

These otters have a sleek and streamlined body that is adapted for swimming in the ocean. They have webbed feet, a thick fur coat, and a long tail that helps them navigate through the water. Nutrias marinas primarily feed on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Nutrias marinas are social animals and are commonly found in small family groups. They are known for their playful behavior, often seen frolicking in the waves and playing with objects such as shells and rocks.

Unfortunately, nutrias marinas face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these animals and their coastal habitats.
