Do otters chew wood?

My mother and I were talking and came upon the question, Do otters chew wood? I say no because I don't think they have the teeth for that. My mother says they have buck teeth like beavers and they have to chew wood because their teeth constantly grow. I can not find anything on the web that says they do chew wood. I was hoping some other yahoo members would like to prove me right lol.

Do otters chew wood?
Well, here's the score---you are kind of EVEN---Otters HAVE teeth----they are CARNIVORES (meat eaters)--not wood. They have been known to use STONES to break open shell fish to eat but NO WHERE did I read a thing about chewing wood...
Reply:Otters don't have buck teeth like beavers, actually. They also don't chew wookd like beavers.

ACTUALY BEAVERS DON'T EAT IT JUST CHEW ON IT WITH THEIR HUGE TEETH.


THE ONLY CREATURE THAT ACTUALLY EATS WOOD IT THE TERMITE.

THIS IS WHY A TERMITE INSPECTION IS SO IMPORTANT WHEN BUYING A HOUSE.
