Guys, I’ve often wondered this and never asked for opinions.
Where do otters sleep? I know they birth babies in whatever dens they find, occupied or not.
But are they like canines? Only den up having babies and sleep in the brush ?
Or do they find a hole somewhere? Like coons??

I’m asking out of curiosity because mamma and her kids hang around long after they are weaned,, that’d have to be a mighty big hole for momma and the family to all squeeze into.

What I'm familiar with is in dens or burrows along river.

What I have seen is a lot of use of old beaver houses

I read a study about resting places for otters. Radiotelemetry showed that tagged otters in this case had up to 35 different resting places in their range. Included old abandoned beaver lodges, log jams, brushed up areas, root overhangs, etc.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Guys....why do wimmen want you to put the toilet seat down.

This has kept me up at night...please ...I need some help

One year there was a huge log jam/debris along the creek after a big flood and there were signs that something had been going in and out in various places. I think my buddy caught five otter right there along the creek. I also remember trying to trap a marina where otter were causing problems. There was about a foot gap between the wood and the styrofoam blocks that held it up. Anyway the otter would get in there and rest/sleep. Several times they would go bailing out when I would start walking on the docks.

That answer is just otter control.

When you're all teeth and claws ya sleep any where ya want

In their honey

I was trapping along the Green River in January. The wife and I saw 4 otters climb out of the river on shelf ice.
They started climbing a steep trail up a draw. About a 100ft or more they disappeared behind a large boulder.
I never would have expected that. My wife has some pictures on a drive. I'll post if I can get them loaded.
