What sort of habitat does a sea otter live in?

Answer 1

The Sea otter or Kalan (Enhydra lutris) is a large otter native to the North Pacific, from northern Japan and Kamchatka east across the Aleutian Islands south to California.

The sea otter is capable of living exclusively in the ocean. The sea otter inhabits near shore environments where it can quickly dive to the sea floor to forage. Sometimes they rest in coastal kelp forests, often draping the kelp over their bodies to keep from drifting away. Most otter species have at least one permanent burrow or den by water. The burrow's main entrance may be under water. River otters dig their own burrows. They are found most often in areas with protection from the most severe ocean winds, such as rocky Coastlines, thick kelp forests, and barrier reefs. Sea otters can also live in areas where the sea floor consists primarily of mud, sand, or silt.
