Sea otters typically measure about 4 to 5 feet in length, but their height when sitting or standing on their hind legs is not commonly measured, as they primarily remain in the water. When they are on land, their body can reach approximately 1 to 2 feet in height at the shoulder. Their robust bodies and thick fur help them adapt to their aquatic environment.
