Best Answer

Sea otters usually live with their mothers only and the two stay together for around one year. As they very rarely go on land, the young otter has to learn how to survive at sea. Its mother teaches it how to avoid predators but most importantly how to find food. A great deal of the deep sea food the otters find will be shellfish, and the mother teaches the young to use small rocks to crack open the shell to get to the food inside. To do this they float on their backs, hold the shellfish on the bellies and bash it with the rock.
