Sea Otter

Description

A sea otter is a marine mammal belonging to the weasel family, characterized by its dense, insulating fur, webbed hind feet, and short, strong forelimbs. They are built for aquatic life, with eyes and nostrils that close underwater, and a high metabolic rate that requires them to eat about 25% of their body weight daily. Sea otters are often seen floating on their backs, using loose skin pouches under their arms to store food and tools, and are known for their playful social behavior.
