The Sea Otter

     Here are some cool facts about Sea Otters you may or may not know.
- A large male sea otter can eat up to 25-30% of its body weight per day!
- Sea otters can balance rocks on their bellies, using them like an anvil to try to crack open the tough shells of clams and mussels.
- Sea otters close their ears and noses when they dive below the water.
- Sea otters live in group known as "rafts".

     Once I photographed a Sea otter relaxing in a bay in Alaska. It just floated in the water while we watched and photographed it.
