otter

The image of an otter denotes that its bearer possesses industry and perseverance, as well as an ability to return to moments of play. Otters were formerly more abundant in streams than they are now and otter hunting was a once a common pastime, so they are born in the arms of several families and are also the supporters for some arms. The otter is most often found as a symbol in Scottish and Irish coats of arms; however, it is by no means restricted to them.
