No. One of the things that really sets sea otters apart from pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, etc.) is the fact that sea otters have almost no fat on them. Since blubber is the most common technique that marine mammals use to keep warm, sea otters have had to develop alternative ways to conserve and generate heat: they have very thick fur that they spend about 1/3 of the day grooming, paired with a really fast metabolism (they eat about a quarter of their body weight each day).
