Otters

Sea Otters usually have one pup at a time. Sometimes, there are twins, but more often a single pup is born to the mother. During her lifetime, a female may have many pups.
A sea otter typically bears only one pup at a time. Sometimes a sea otter will have twins; however, one of the pups will be abandoned, for a sea-otter mother can care for only one pup at a time.

Most sea otters live in the kelp forest ecosystem. Kelp and other algae species are the primary producers of this ecosystem. Sea otters eat sea urchins, abalone, other shellfish, snails, and occasionally other animals unique to a particular area. Just about all of these animals are primary consumers, meaning they eat kelp and algae (some of them are also filter feeders that filter phytoplankton out of the water). Sharks will occasionally eat sea otters, but generally only if the otters are already injured (otherwise they are pretty good at escaping). It is suspected that orcas have recently been eating Alaskan sea otters. Sea otters are a keystone species in their ecosystem, as they keep shellfish and sea urchin populations in check. Without otters, these animals tend to overpopulate and eat all of the kelp. Since everything in the kelp forest (including many kinds of fish) depends on the kelp for survival, this leads to a collapse of the entire food web. The resulting ecosystem is called an "urchin barrens," since it is generally populated almost exclusively by sea urchins and other shellfish.

The temperature sea otters live in is 50 degrees or lower.

i think no because they are a wild animal

water+weasel=otter hope this helped

otters get their food by catching fish in the water. so they eat fish. they swim down in the ocean and catch fish with there mouth

Because all species of otter naturally have relatively low birthrates, combined with their 15-year average lifespan, they are vulnerable to extinction factors. These threats include hunting for the fur trade (a practice that has widely been abolished), oil spills, and imbalance in the food chain. (Orca whales, for example, are growing stronger populations, where some fish, such as salmon, have become increasingly threatened.)
Its becoming extinct because people are killing them and ruining their homes.

Sea otters and seals do not necessarily like or dislike each other. Although they live in the same areas, they aren't natural enemies, and they don't have any relationship between the two species. You won't find them playing together, but to know whether they like each other is impossible (you can't read their minds to figure out whether they like each other the way that some people like animals).

I hope that answers your question.

it is a mamal, so it is born right out of the mother (normally on land) and it begins its life imeditally.

Yes, homeothermic means warm blooded and all mammals are warm blooded (warm our bodies through food energy). Endothermic animals use the sun or other heat sources (such as reptiles)

Adult males are 70-90 pounds, adult females are 40-60 pounds and they are 4.5 feet long.

Otter is an animal like a seal.

Yes. They eat a variety of shell fish depending on what is most easily available to them. They use a rock to crack open the shell or they have an abundance of the equivalent of human molars - teeth that are large and flat on top. Sea otters use their molars to crack some shells. They also have incisor like teeth which we think they use to scrape out the meat in the shell fish.

pretty big I would say

Fully grown otters can be from 0.6 to 1.8 metres (2 to 6 feet) in length

Bull sharks will eat sea otters and anything else they can catch. These sharks not only live in the ocean, they have also been found far up rivers, in fresh water, and have been known to attack humans.

It is possible to keep a sea otter as a pet in the United States. However, you will need a special license as well as an average of two years of training to learn how to care for wild animals. Often the only place to adopt an otter is through an otter rescue program. However, there are a few breeders who specialize in wild animals.

Yes, sea otters do, on their rear feet. They're very good swimmers & divers, quite interesting to watch them eating clams off their stomachs while floating. They use rocks to break open the shells. Their front feet (paws?) are very human-like in their dexterity & efficiency. They have opposing thumbs.

Sea Otters sleep in groups while wrapped in seaweed so they do not float away. The Alaskan Sea Otter will occasionally haul out on ice or rocks and sleep. It is very uncommon for California Sea Otters to haul out.

Yes, they eat other living things. Like oysters, mussels, crabs. But they can also be called omnivores.'Cause they eat plants and such too.

Sea otters were not invented.

Predators of river otters include bears, eagles, wolves, coyotes, foxes and cougars .

yes otters have flaps of skin, much like that of a kangaroo on each side of their waste. these "pockets" are very wet and the saying 'wetter than an otters pocket' comes from this fact. these pockets are generally used for holding useful items like keys and lipstick.

now are you crase
