Sea Otter Facts: Funny and Cute
Have you seen a sea otter? Notice the way it moves? They move fast, don’t they? That’s because sea otters have long and aerodynamic bodies making them natural born swimmers. These little animals which have a lifespan of about 12 years, are oftentimes seen floating on their backs and are the heaviest members of the weasel family. They are found in waterways in every part of the world except in Australia and Antarctica. They also have thick and dense fur which traps air and helps them maintain buoyancy. The fur keeps them warm.
These sleek creatures are also known to dive up to 330 feet in water when foraging for food. Sea otters live in dens. They do not make their own homes but live in homes created by other animals like the beavers. These versatile animals are known to be capable of using tools. For instance, they would use rocks to hammer and pry open shellfish.
There are currently 13 known species of sea otters, the largest of which is the giant otter which measures up to 1.8 meters long. The smallest sea otter, the Asian small-clawed otter, weighs about 11 lbs, and is known to grow up to 90 cm. In the United States, there are two types of sea otters. One is the Northern Sea Otter which lives in the Aleutian islands, Southern Alaska, British Columbia and Washington. The other is the California sea otter also known as the southern sea otter which lives in the Californian coastline.
Playful and Social Animals
Sea otters are known to be very socially integrated and curious. They love to play and would most often be seen sliding off embankments into the water, chasing their tails and would play around with other sea otters.
Love to Groom
Did you know that the sea otter loves to groom itself? In fact, they spend a significant amount of time grooming. They will clean their fur by biting it or rubbing it against the rocks and logs.
Carnivorous Diet
Sea otters are known to maintain the balance of the near shore kelp prey by feeding on small animals like the mussels, clams, abalone, crabs and snails. They also eat small mammals and birds. Since they are nocturnal, most of the hunting they do happens in the night. They also consume about 25% of their weight in food to make up for their high metabolism each day.
Offspring
Female sea otters have a gestation of about 2-5 months depending on the species. Typically, they will have about 1-5 babies. These babies which are born with sealed eyes, are called pups and weigh anywhere from 128 grams for small species to about 5 lbs in large otter species. Sea otter pups will begin to swim at about 2 months. By age 2-5 years, sea otters will begin their own family.
Hunted for Fur
Most sea otter species like the giant otter, marine otter and the South American river otter, are threatened because there is a high demand for their very dense fur. It is said that only the North American river otter community seems to face no threat and are growing in population.
It can be enjoyable watching sea otters as they are very active and mobile animals. However, there should be wildlife efforts directed to protect them because they help maintain the ecosystem. Without them, the animals they eat will devour the kelp forests that provide food and cover for other marine animals. Sea otters also help reduce the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide which helps kelp forests as well.
Because they are so cute and friendly to look at, there are many sculptures and statues created to celebrate sea otters. They form part of the marine life and hence, sea themed homes can expect to discover unique gift items like sea otter key hooks and sea otter statues that add character and color to the home. There's even a sea otter door knocker to add character to your front doors too!
