Did you know?
Sea otters are remarkable marine mammals that live in kelp forests and coastal waters, almost always within sight of shore. Unlike most marine mammals, they lack blubber and instead rely on their extraordinarily dense fur—the thickest of any animal—to maintain body temperature in cold ocean waters. Famously intelligent and playful, they use rocks and tools to crack open shellfish, a behavior that makes them one of nature's most endearing problem-solvers.
