How long do otters generally live?

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 14 points 5 days ago

Looking for the info, it's surprising me how many otter species there are e.e"

But if not raised in nature, some species seem to get to 9 years, others to 15 years, and otters to 25 years.

i don't know but considering cats, dogs, donkeys, horses, literally every other farm animal lives around 20 years in captivity, i'd say 20 years in captivity. around 10 years in the wild.

Snow worms are much cuter than sand worms.
