This River Otter is Bracing for a Harsh Michigan Winter ❄️ Smithsonian Channel 

That river otter is so adorable and i love the way she goes to stay alive in the winter.

I live in the U.P. and have seen otters playing in the water while taking our dogs on hikes. It’s fun to see them in their natural habitat having fun.

That river otter is so adorable when rolling in the snow. But it's not just for fun, his wavy hairs of the dense underfur form air spaces, which help prevent contact between the cold water and the otter's skin. In general, otters take good care of their fur. They are often seen rolling, shaking, and fluffing or preening their hair to restore trapped air after being in the water.

Lived in MN and north eastern IA for years. We used to see them swimming when we canoed the river. Beautiful too watch and so graceful.

amazing how they capture all of this.

Da Yoopers in the House 🏡 for sure!

I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life and I never knew we had otters 🦦😫😫

I love all the various types of otters. Thank you for this video. It was so interesting and adorable

OTTERS! I love the frolicking free, playful and life loving River Otter! If I could choose an animal to be reincarnated as - it would be one of these guys. Even their diet of fish, clams and ctawdads appeal to me.

Amazing footage of this beautiful River Otter my friend. So sweet to watch it roll in the snow. Thanks for sharing my friend. Enjoyed as always Irene.😍💦

I live in Upper Peninsula and haven’t seen otters since I was a kid! There’s more up north of me

I used live in Michigan myself but never seen any river otters! I guess it’s way up north. I been to Upper pininsula and the water is cold even during summer

*Great Michigander call for other Michiganders*
