Otters have the most dense fur in the animal kingdom. They have one million hairs per square inch, where dogs have about 60,000/sq in. This allows them to swim in cold waters without having a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm. This adaptation gives the otter a streamline and extremely agile body.
(What the person is saying is that they have 1,000,000 hairs per square inch)
(P.S. you don't need to make a huge deal out of something like this; no one asked how much a dog has, or for your science paper on sea otters)
