An otter is a small water-dwelling rodent which inhabits the banks of the rivers and lakes of [[Ireland]], [[Sweden]], [[Hungary]] and the [[UK]], but not [[France]]. The creature can hold its breath for up to twenty minutes underwater, and it raises its young in a pouch, similar to a [[kangaroo]]. They eat snakes (except in Ireland) and small birds, as well as fish. | An otter is a small water-dwelling rodent which inhabits the banks of the rivers and lakes of [[Ireland]], [[Sweden]], [[Hungary]] and the [[UK]], but not [[France]].
