Album: Small-clawed Otter (Amblonyx cinereus) Asian small clawed Otters are very intelligent, curious and social animals. They like to spend a lot of time playing in the water and on the land. Found in the rain forest of Asia, this is the smallest type of otter, and lives near streams, mangroves and marshes. However they spend more time on land than other otter species. It feeds mainly on crab, shellfish and snails which it catches in the shallows with hand-like forepaws. These otters paired for life and are often seen in famiy groups of up to 15. They raise, with the help of siblings, 1 or 2 littles a year.   Fisherman in Southeast Asia use small-clawed otters to drive schools of fish into their nets. The otters are allowed to eat any fish they catch. Otters dive quickly when searching for food and stay submerged for up to 45 seconds. Changed: May 01, 2008. Contains: 5 items. Viewed: 31 times.
