Subfamily: Lutrinae

Aonyx capensis (African clawless otter)

The otter’s body is elongated, sinuous and agile designed for active swimming. It depends on its acute sense of touch, when searching for prey such as crabs under stones and in crevices. Although it normally hunts by sight, the well developed sense of touch allows it to find prey in water with poor visibility. Otters are active during the early morning and the late afternoon, although they may hunt at anytime. Otters occur singly, in pairs or small family groups.
