The habitat of common otters at Taehung is a riverside in Hyangu-ri 8.5 kilometres north of the township of Taehung County, South Phyongan Province of the DPRK.
This location, at which several tributaries in the upper stream of the Taedong River meet, is a mountainous area, most of which is 500 to 1 000 metres above sea level.
It is home to coniferous trees such as larch, Abies nephrolepis , spruce, pine and pine-nut tree, and broad-leaf trees such as oak, Korean poplar and linden, all of which constitutes thick mixed forests.
Streams in this area are clear, with their current being swift and shoals in different places.
There are rocks by the riverside, and various shrubs and grasses grow there.
The river abounds with different species of fish such as char, Pseudogobio esocinus and minnow, as well as invertebrates.
The common otters at Taehung, the only mammal species living in the fresh water, are under good protection.
