150+ Super Cute Otter Names You'll Love
Gallery
Otters are extremely cute animals who live in freshwater.
The most common types of otters are Eurasian otters, scientifically called Lutra lutra. Baby otters are called pups and kittens.
It is important to note that an otter might not be the perfect pet. They are not meant to stay captive and will be happier living in a natural environment with other otters.
They can also be very territorial, and whilst they do not kill humans, they may attack if they or their young feel threatened.
Therefore, if you wish to name an otter it might be best to adopt one in a zoo or in the wild instead (or simply find a soft toy otter)!
In this article, we have provided a list of more than 150 super cute otter names you'll love. If you like this list, you can check out other articles from Kidadl, like this list of cute calico cat names for your kitten or these brilliant black dog names for your puppy.
