The Bewhiskered Swimmer is an otter, a semi-aquatic mammal that is found in many parts of the world. Otters have long, slim bodies and short legs, and are well adapted to life in the water. They have thick fur that helps keep them warm and dry, and their whiskers help them to find food in murky waters. Otters are playful and social animals, and can be seen swimming, sliding, and playing together in rivers and lakes.
