The food web of a sea otter?

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.

How are sea otters threatened with extinction?

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.

Does a sea otter like a seal?

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.

What kind of crabs does a sea otter eat?

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.
