The ban on hunting sea otters for their fur took place in 1911 with the signing of the International Fur Seal Treaty. This treaty, also known as the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention, was signed by the United States, Russia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It aimed to address the overhunting of fur seals and sea otters in the North Pacific region.

cooling of seawater is caused by the evaporation of surface water which takes latent heat from surrounding water molecules, similar to the effect of sweating. Cooling of seawater is also due to brine acceptance, if the water becomes more saline, it will sink as it is heavier than the surrounding water masses and thus cooling as water which becomes more dense has a lower maximum temperature, and pressure causes water to become colder.

Yes! Check the news sites for an otter attack that happened in South Florida. A few people were attacked and bitten as well as a dog. The otter did test positive after it was found floating in a lake.

A pair of Asian otters will have babies once or twice per year, and the litter size can vary from one to six pups. They have a lifespan of about 11 to 16 years. Pups stay with their parents until the next litter is born. Therefor, a single pair of Asian otters could have as many as 90 pups during their lifetime.
