Alaskan otters primarily feed on marine invertebrates, including sea urchins, crabs, clams, and various shellfish. They are also known to eat fish and other small marine animals. Their diet plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of kelp forest ecosystems, as they help control sea urchin populations. Sea otters are known for their use of tools, such as rocks, to crack open hard-shelled prey.
