Asian small-clawed otter

The small-clawed otter is the world's smallest otter, living in the wetlands and rivers of South and Southeast Asia. Its delicate paws have unusually short claws that stay tucked within its webbed toes.

• Its body measures 73-96 cm from nose to tail tip.
• Weighs no more than 3.5 kg – about the size of a house cat.
• Uses its sensitive, clawless fingers to feel for prey in muddy water.
