Sea otters have the thickest fur in the animal kingdom, ranging from 250,000 to a million hairs per square inch, which insulates them and maintains warmth. Unlike other marine mammals, the sea otter does not have a layer of blubber (fat) to help keep it warm. Go Wild This Holiday Season! Help Keep the Seas a Safe Place for Sea Otters!

Sea otters eat approximately 25% of their weight in food each day. Range The sea otter’s historic range stretched from Japan, along the coast of Siberia and the Aleutian Chain and down the Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California coast to Baja California. Currently sea otters can be found in California, Washington, Alaska, Canada, Russia, and Japan. Behavior Sea otters live in shallow coastal waters off the northern Pacific. They are the only mammals other than primates, birds and a few other animals known to use tools. They use small rocks or other objects to pry shellfish from rocks and to hammer them open. Sea otters spend much of their lives in the water and can dive up to 330 feet when foraging for food. They sometimes rest in coastal kelp forests, often draping the kelp over their bodies to keep from drifting away. Reproduction Mating Season throughout the year Gestation 6-8 months Litter Size Generally one pup, but sea otters can give birth to twins Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» General--------------------- General Board- Rules of the Ocean- Advertising--------------------» Joining --------------------- Creatures of the Deep --- Dolphins --- Whales --- Killer Whales --- Otters --- Sea Lions/ Seals--------------------» Inbetween Areas Of The Oceans--------------------- Kaito Pod (Dolphins) --- Kelp Forest --- Seaweed Bed --- Sandy Spread --- Fish Coral- Azure Pod (Orcas) --- Shipwreak Pastures --- Rocky Savana --- Cavern of Water and Passion.- Akane Pod (Whales) --- Heart Cave --------------------» Indian Ocean--------------------- Deserted Shores- Sandy shallows--------------------» Pacific Ocean--------------------- Rainbow Reef- Murky Trench- Islands Of Heavan- Deep Blue Of Nothing- Seaweed plains- Harbouring Man--------------------» Artic Ocean--------------------- beneath the white lid- Icy Blue- Caves of Icesculpture- Wispy white shores--------------------» Atlantic Ocean--------------------- Atlantis- Hidden Ruins- Deep blue mountains
