Sea otters are adapted to keep warm by its thick and dense fur. It has two layers of fur; one a water proof guard layer, and then a shorter layer of fur underneath. Unlike most marine mammals, they do not use blubber to keep them warm. So they use their fur instead.

Sea otters have incredibly dense fur, to keep it in tip top condition they groom it at every opportunity. This causes air to get trapped between the hair strands, helping to form a barrier to stop very cold water from reaching their skin, which in turn helps to keep them warm.
