Behaviour
The Asian small-clawed otter is mostly active after dark. It lives in groups of up to 15 individuals. Group members communicate and utter a variety of yelps and whimpers. When disturbed, they scream to rally the help of others. When swimming on the water surface, otters row with the forelimbs and paddle with the hind limbs. When diving under water, they undulate their bodies and tails
