Males have a larger "home range" than females as they don't stay with the female after breeding. Depending on the available food sources, they have a home range between 2 and 50 square miles.

They are nomadic, but a female will stay in one area while the pups are young. IIRC they area weaned at 6 months of age.

Even with the large home range, they will overlap, and just avoid one another. So, a single pond could have more than one family of otters visiting it.
