If a sea otter get hold of something with a hard shell it will float on its back with the 'hard-shelled thing' on its belly and smash at it with a rock it has also procured. They're quite cute to watch doing this. After the thing has been smashed open then they eat it with their mouths as you would expect.

∙ 11y agoThe sea otter hunts in short dives, often to the sea floor. Although it can hold its breath for up to five minutes, its dives typically last about one minute and no more than four. It is the only marine animal capable of lifting and turning over rocks, which it often does with its front paws when searching for prey.
