Can someone tell me 6 sea otter facts?

Answer 1

• Sea otters are the heaviest otter species in the world, largely due to their fur. Since they don't have a blubber, they rely on their thick fur to insulate them.
• Sea otters live along separated patches along the coast of California, Canada, Alaska, and the north eastern peninsula of Russia.
• Despite popular belief, the sea otter is not related to seals or sea lions. In fact, it is a member of the weasel family. I personally think it resembles a large marten with smaller ears.
• A sea otter will typically live for fifteen to twenty years.
• Sea otters are one of the few animal species caught using a tool. Most sea otters will carry a rock with them. When the go underwater, they get a sea urchin, bring it back above water, and crack it open with the rock so they can eat the inside.
• Sea otters can actually sleep in the ocean without drowning. They can tie themselves to kelp beds, which prevents them from floating off, and keeps them above water.
