World Otter Day 28 May 2025

World Otter Day

They slip through the water like furry torpedoes, roll on riverbanks like children on a playground and hold hands while they nap. Otters are nature"s playful pranksters, but their future isn"t all smooth sailing. Many species are threatened by habitat destruction, pollution and illegal wildlife trade. But it doesn"t have to be that way. On World Otter Day—the last Wednesday of May—let"s shine a light on the challenges these lovable mammals face and help protect their place in the wild.
