Correct Answer: European river otter
Fact: European river otters are one of the most widespread otter species. They are found in Europe and parts of Asia and northern Africa. Their diet mainly consists of fish, but they are also known to eat amphibians, insects, worms, and small mammals. European river otter populations declined in the latter half of the 20th century, but conservation efforts have helped them bounce back in several regions in Europe.
