The Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinereus) is an otter species native to South and Southeast Asia. It is also known as the oriental small-clawed otter and the small-clawed otter. Its claws are small and do not extend past the pads of its webbed digits. It is the world’s smallest otter species, measuring 730 to 960 mm (28.6 to 37.6 in) in total length.
Riverine environments, freshwater wetlands, and mangrove swamps are all home to the Asian small-clawed otter. Mollusks, crabs, and other small aquatic invertebrates are among its favorite foods. It usually lives in couples, but has sometimes been seen in family groupings of up to 12 people.
The IUCN Red List classifies it as Vulnerable, and it is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and, in some regions, hunting.
