The ban on hunting sea otters for their fur took place in 1911 with the signing of the International Fur Seal Treaty. This treaty, also known as the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention, was signed by the United States, Russia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It aimed to address the overhunting of fur seals and sea otters in the North Pacific region. The ban on sea otter hunting was part of conservation efforts to protect these species from further depletion due to excessive harvesting for their valuable fur.
I hope that this helps!
They ar.e not on the endangered species list
by 1911
sea otters do have hollow fur to help them float... so yes sea otters have hollow hair.
Oil harms sea otters......if it gets into its fur. The sea otters prey are cats, white sharks, and orcas.
the biggest threat is running out of food and having humans killing them even when there's a law against hunting them.
Their fur.
people are hunting them
because there fur has blubber in it too keep them warm
I wouldn't say they were very furry, but they do have fur.
sea otters and beavers
sea otters camouflage by wrapping themselves with the kelp
Sea otters are very flexible so they can reach every part of their body, kinda like a dog and a cat
Sea otters almost completely died out in the 1800s and early 1900s due to the popularity of their fur. Many poachers killed the otters to sell the fur for expensive coats and other garments.
