Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago welcomed a new female North American river otter in May! One-year-old Mystie joins Tucker, a seven-year-old otter already living at the zoo. The two will be companions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorth American river otters are full of energy, and Mystie is no exception. This is a playful species, and we\u2019ve already seen her utilizing all the landscape and water features at Pritzker Family Children\u2019s Zoo,\u201d said Curator Dan Boehm.<\/p>\n

North American river otters are semi aquatic. They live in areas where there are permanent water sources, like rivers, creeks and streams. In the wild, some river otters live alone, while others live in groups.<\/p>\n
