WHY ADOPT A RIVER OTTER?

Found romping in rivers, lakes, swamps and estuaries, the North American river otter has a long, strong tail it uses as a rudder, and water-repellent fur that allows it to swim in cold waters. It can also hold its breath underwater for as long as eight minutes!

While river otter populations were drastically reduced in the early 1900s due to habitat loss, pollution and unregulated trapping, conservation efforts have helped populations recover. With your symbolic adoption, you're helping WWF-Canada continue efforts to safeguard the health of Canada's freshwater habitats to ensure the long-term survival of species like the river otter.

DESIGNED TRUE-TO-LIFE RIVER OTTER PLUSH

Our river otter plush includes the features that make the real-life species well adapted for semi-aquatic living: thick, protective fur; short legs and webbed feet to swim faster; a long tail to help propel them through the water; and a long, narrow body for streamlined movement in the water. The river otter's sensitive whiskers allow it to locate prey in murky waters, where its vision alone would not suffice.

Here are our most commonly asked questions about our symbolic adoption kits.

See our FAQ page or contact gifts@wwfcanada.org for more help.

How does my purchase help wildlife?

Your purchase through our e-store is a crucial part of our fundraising efforts to support the conservation work that our scientists undertake to protect wildlife and their habitats. For example, to help protect narwhals, our Arctic Species Conservation Fund supports narwhal tagging and research in Nunavut. We also support the development of non-invasive research techniques, including the use of aerial drones and underwater microphones. This work helps us learn more about distribution, behaviour, and the impacts of underwater noise on narwhals, inspiring actions that safeguard the species.

What is the name of my animal / How do I receive information about the animal I adopted?

Our Wildlife Adoptions are symbolic, which means that your purchase does not correspond to a specific animal in the wild. By selecting the wildlife adoption kit you like best, you are helping to protect all species at risk – not just one.

WWF works around the world to help conserve species and the
habitats they call home. Your gift goes a long way in helping to make these efforts possible.

How do I request a blank adoption certificate with my Symbolic Wildlife Adoption purchase?

If you would prefer to personalize your certificate yourself, you can opt to receive a blank adoption certificate. Simply leave the sender and recipient name fields blank.
