Does a sea otter like a seal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
