Today I found out there are otter bugs.>The Great diving beetle is a large and voracious predator of ponds and slow-moving waterways. Blackish-green in colour, it can be spotted coming to the surface to replenish the air supply it stores beneath its wing cases.

It's a cool bug, I like the colour. What other animals have otter versions?

Cormorants! I learned that these birds are excellent swimmers, and they can dive up to 45 meters deep. How cool is that?
I had thought penguins might be otter-birds, but they're more like sea lions than otters I'd say.
I wonder if they ever get the bends.
