Aquatic mammal that lives in a holt (5)

I believe the answer is:

otter

(Other definitions for otter that I've seen before include "Lithe swimmer" , "Aquatic member of weasel family" , "Water creature" , "Tarka, for one" , "Freshwater mammal with dark brown fur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
