Otters
Playful aquatic acrobats
About Our Otters
Our North American river otters are among the most entertaining and beloved animals at Majestic Meadows! These playful, intelligent mammals are natural swimmers and love to show off their aquatic acrobatics.
Watch them dive, twist, and zoom through the water with incredible speed and agility. Otters are social animals and you'll often see them playing together, sliding down banks, and wrestling in the water.
With their dense waterproof fur, webbed feet, and powerful tails, otters are perfectly adapted for life in the water. Their playful nature and curious personalities make them a must-see at our farm!
