What effect does rapping seaweed around its body have on an otter?
Loveoconnor
An otter can help keep itself warm by wrapping seaweed around its body. This is also an effective camouflage against potential predators, and may feel comforting to the otter.
Seaweed (kelp) is wrapped around their bodies so they don't "wander" out with the tide while they eat - they lay a stone on their bellies to crack mollusk shells on. They also wrap themselves up while they sleep for the same reason.
