Marine otters are the only otter species living fully in coastal environments, apart from sea otters.
However, unlike sea otters they don't spend most of the time in the ocean. They mainly live on land, and only make short trips into the water to forage.
Marine otters live on the pacific coast of South America, they're known to mainly live in Chile where they are known as the "Chungungo".
These otters are relatively small. An adult marine otter can reach 6 kg, where a sea otter can weigh up to 45 kg.
Another name for the marine otter is sea cat.
A very special otter indeed.
Wow, that's a bunch of cool facts! I always thought the marine otter was cool, but I didn't know all this stuff about it
>>3288 Wow, that's one small otter. Especially for a marine mammal. Doesn't make it any less otter of course.
