Sea Otters

This picture is from Encarta.

Otters have thick fur coats and whiskers. They have flat

heads and their tails end in a point.The sea otter is native

to the American and Asian North Pacific Ocean. It eats

clams, mussels, sea urchins, crabs and starfish.

 

They eat floating on their backs. They reach to about 1.2 metres long. The female only has one baby at a time.  The Sea Otters' enemies are humans who hunt them for their fur, sharks, eagles and whales that catch the baby otters thinking they are seals.

The otter is small to medium in size. It has sharp claws and sharp teeth. It has black shiny fur. They can hold their breath for about five minutes. One species of the otter is extinct, which is annoying.
