How Otters Survive In The Rocky Mountains | River Masters | Real Wild

In remote regions of the Rocky Mountains of the United States, the river otter still thrives. They live in the lakes and rivers where fish also prosper. We follow two families of otters – two mothers with their young. At first, they fish and frolic as independent families. However, the families join together to face challenges, such as beavers invading their habitat, as well as migrating cutthroat trout to their spawning beds, and in the wintertime, avoiding coyotes who depend on the otters for some of their winter sustenance.

I just adore Otters. So family oriented, play and Mum teaches. We must never touch their habitats and those of the other Animals. Their ecosystems are just too important. 💗🐾🇦🇺

I love otters, they move so fluidly, they seem so playful, gracecul and playful! I did not know that otters can detect the electric fields of other organisms!

I watched a family of otters while smallmouth fishing in Virginia. It consisted of 2 adults and 2 juveniles. They were as curious about me as I was about them and played as a unit while I threw artificials. They left and went downstream. As they came back upstream they were fishing. Fish in a river face the current. Understand? I stopped fishing to let them by when Mom came up with a really big bluegill and mom and the kids ate it in front of me, in the river 25 feet away! What a show! They hung around the area a few more days then moved on.

I absolutely adore otters, no other animal gives me as much pure joy when I watch them as otters do, such intelligence, such a sense of play, I’m sure they have a finely tuned sense of humour as well, adorable🙂

This was beautifully narrated! I hope to find more with this style of narrations

This is a first class documentary. Exquisite filming and really absorbing to watch how the animals interact with one another in their goal of survival and furthering their own species.

It's devastating, poachers kidnap these babies and ship them in cardboard boxes. They arrive almost dead and terrified.
The Giant Otter was almost extinct in South America but for a woman who opened a sanctuary, raises the babies and returns them to the wild.
Great documentary ❤

Their population is growing, was a River Guide on WY North Platte River last few years have been seeing them on that Drainage. They haven't been Reintroduced there, and wonder how they got there, but was very happy to see them.

Female otters are such great Moms! The males, however can be very violent. I just watched a documentary called Saving Otter 501 and there was this tagged female who was so skinny her ribs were sticking out, she was giving all of her food to her pup because she just couldn't catch enough for both of them. Anyway, a male approached and what followed added immensely to her burdens and stress and she died 3 months later. I won't get into specifics because there are children in this comment section. Needless to say mother nature can be so cruel but this highlights just what caring and wonderful mothers otters are.

Best part of this documentary is the actual footage of otter being attacked, putting on the fight and survived to live another day which BTW is hard to find in new ones.
