Otters are on the 'Threatened Species' list in British Columbia. Your
help and awarenss are needed to get them off the list. Adopt an otter
and help promote educational campaigns to reduce oil pollution and preserve
a healthy ecosystem! Fun Facts! ~Sea otters are born in the ocean, live in the ocean and die in the ocean. They rarely are seen on land. ~At night when they sleep, they tie their body up in kelp and blow air in their fur to keep afloat. ~Sea otters eat up to 25% of their body weight while we only eat 2%! ~Sea otters have more hair in one square inch than humans do on our whole bodies! ~Sea otters are one of very few mammals who carry a tool: They carry a rock under their arm and use it as an anchor and a hammer to smash open food. ~When sea otters dive underwater for food, their ears automatically close. ~Sea otters are the only marine mammals that don't have blubber. |
