Sea otters are mammals and, like all mammals, they are vertebrates because they have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.

Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.

No. Invertebrate means "having no spine" - therefore an otter, like all mammals, is a vertebrate.
