How do otters handle the heat?

With all that dense fur you might think otters will overheat quickly in the summer heat wave. What do otters do to cool off?

Otters are pretty well adapted to the cold due to their dense fur, but they can actually use the same fur to stay cool in summer! they'll apparently trap air pockets in there so the hot air doesn't reach the skin so easily. And of course there's the getting in the water! Nothing beats going for a swim to cool off.

Otters are very smart. They use available Materials to block off the heat of the sun. Like Otis is demonstrating it in this picture.

I wonder whether otters can use leaves like fans. Considering how much they play with leaves they probably figured out already.
Also, these rocks look kinda like an otter

You know, what makes this even funnier? Lotta and Otis had babies, their names are Piper and Pebble!


There's actually an otter hiding behind a leaf in this photo, might take you a while to find it
