What distinctive features of a sea otter?

Answer 1

Sea Otters can have some very strange physical characteristics such as they have no blubber, instead a very thick fur covers every inch of there bodies. Much like that of an underground animal sea otters consider smell more important than sight and high-sensitive whiskers and front paws are used more than sight in the hunting of prey.

Social characteristics of sea otters are rather odd. Each sex of an otter will join hands together and float on there backs in a big formation stretching from 10-100 otters on average. This formation is called a rompt or a raft. When a rompt of otters enters another's territory another otter will attempt to scare away the pack but fighting amongst these two rompts rarely occurs. During mating season the male will mark the females its mated to by biting its muzzle often leaving scars.
