Now listening again with the script.
There are 13 different species of otters found in the world. Antarctica and Australia are the only two places in the world where they aren’t found. The average lifespan for an Otter is 10 years. That can double, however, with one in captivity. These animals live near rivers and make their homes from small pieces of wood.
Otters usually come out of their homes at night. They are very good in the water and can swim more than 10 km/h. They have thick brown hair, and this keeps them warm in the water. An otter can close its ears and nose. This means it can stay underwater for several minutes.
Twenty years ago, there were few otters in Britain. The water in the rivers was so dirty that many fish and insects died and the otters couldn’t find anything to eat. But today, there is lots of food for them after the rivers are clean again.
