Sea otters are not the same are marine otters. They are two distinct species of the otter subfamily Lutrinae. The sea otter is Enhydra lutris and the marine otter is Lontra felina. Their appearances are also distinct: where sea otters are known for their large, bulky bodies, marine otters are smaller and slender like their river-otter relatives. Additionally, sea otters live along the northwest coast of North America and near Russia's Kamchatka peninsula, whereas marine otters live along the western coast of South America.
