This page is about the animal character. For the episode, see Slider: The Otter.


Slider is a male North American river otter pup who made his first appearance in the Season 3 episode "Slider: The Otter". Martin and Chris found him in the Florida cypress swamp and tried to find his family in the swamp, but eventually learn that he was from the northern woodlands as he did not know that alligators and alligator gars were dangerous. He was later reunited with his family.

Slider made his second appearance in "Under Frozen Pond", where he helped the Wild Kratts and their friends get around. He also appeared in "A Creature Christmas" as one of the many baby animals captured by Wild Kratts' enemies but were later freed by Wild Kratts crew. Slider loves to slide, swim, and eat fish.

Along the way, the brothers teach Slider how to survive in the swamp finding food and avoiding predators.

Trivia[]

  • Slider is about 12 weeks old.
  • Everyone keeps calling Slider a cub when he actually should have been called a pup.
  • Slider and his family are likely Canadian river otters (Lontra canadensis canadensis), since Slider was different from the North American river otters from the Floridan Everglades, which are southeastern river otters (Lontra canadensis lataxina).
