Otters belong to a comparatively small group of animals called Mustelines, shared by the badger, mongoose, weasel, mink and others. Maxwell’s otter was of a race previously unknown to science and was at length named by zoologists Lutrogale perspicillata maxwelli or Maxwell’s otter. They are often tamed by the Arabs. It is a characteristic of the otters that every drop of water must be spread around the place.For them, water must be kept on the move because they love to be in water. Otters love playing various games, especially with a ball.
