Sea otters are covered in an extremely dense coat of fur, with 1,000,000 strands of hair per square inch (the densest of any animal on earth). Two different kinds of hair make up this coat: short underhair, which retains air and insulates the otter, and long guardhair, which prevent the ocean water from leaking into the underhair. It was because of this luxurious pelt that sea otters were so intensely hunted in the past--which was the primary contribution to today's decimated population of sea otters.
