Sea otters grow through a process of maturation that begins at birth, when they are about 3 to 4 pounds and covered in dense fur. They rely on their mothers for food and warmth during the first few months of life, learning essential skills like foraging and grooming. As they transition to independence, they develop strong swimming abilities and hunting skills, typically reaching full size and sexual maturity at around 2 to 5 years of age. Their growth is also influenced by their diet, primarily consisting of marine invertebrates, which provides the necessary nutrients for their development.
