*** About Sea Otters: Sea otters, a marine mammal species found primarily in the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean, are known for their thick fur—the densest of all animals. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by controlling the population of sea urchins, which can devastate kelp forests if left unchecked. Unlike other marine mammals, sea otters use stones as tools to crack open hard-shelled prey, showcasing unique behavior that underlines their adaptability and intelligence. Integral to marine biodiversity, these otters also contribute to carbon storage, thanks to their preservation of kelp forests that absorb CO2.
