no an otter id like a ver small seal, more like a bever and a Ferit, very smart creatures, but not very dangerious unless they bite you then you would have a hard time to get them off very strong jaw bones, but they would only do that if they were ver frightend, and you tried to grab them, other then that they are very sweet to people who are being friendly. I am nw lost in what the point is so I need to go take a nap ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz
