Otter Coloring Pages
Color By Fun Fact
Use our otter coloring pages to learn something new and push your creativity. Below are some fun facts about these adorable mammals, each paired with a coloring prompt. Parents and teachers can use Color By Fun Fact in a one-on-one setting or as a group activity.
Otters use rocks as tools to crack open shellfish.
This makes otters one of the few non-human animals to use tools. Others include chimpanzees and crows.
✎ Prompt: Using the Otter Underwater coloring page, draw a rock in between the otter’s hands. Think about your otter’s personality and what kind of rock they would be most proud to carry. Classic grey? Colorful stripes?
Sea otters have the densest fur of any animal.
Otters can have up to a million hairs per square inch! Since they don’t have blubber to warm them up, like other marine life, an otter’s hair acts as a coat to keep them warm.
✎ Prompt: Give your otter even more fur! Using the Cute Baby Otter on the Beach Holding Seashell page, create a custom hairdo on your otter. Is it sleek and elegant? Or a colorful mohawk? The possibilities are limitless.
Otters prioritize cleanliness.
If there’s debris like dirt and oil trapped between their fur, an otter will have a harder time floating, diving, and staying warm. So it’s essential to an otter’s livelihood that they keep their fur clean.
✎ Prompt: Draw a line down the middle of your page. One one side, make your otter messy. Maybe they fell in the dirt or got into a food fight. On the other side, color in your otter sparkling clean.
