Sea otters consume 25% of their body weight because they have high metabolisms to keep warm in cold waters. By consuming a large amount of food, they can maintain their energy levels and stay warm while swimming in the ocean. This high food intake also allows them to build up insulating layers of fat to protect them from the cold.
