Frolicking aquatic mammals (6)

I believe the answer is:

otters

(Other definitions for otters that I've seen before include "Or test out these mammals" , "Water animals with webbed feet and flat tails" , "Fish-eating water animals, put to rest" , "River mammals" , "River-dwelling mammals" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
