the species „Enhydria lutris“, from the Greek „en hydra“,

meaning „in the water“, and the Latin „lutris“, meaning otter.
Sea otters can be found in the Pacific Ocean along the coast of
California, up to Alaska, along the east coast of Russia, and all
the way up to the northern tip of Japan. They prefer coastal
waters and only swim out into the deep ocean when travelling
between islands and the mainland. Unlike other marine
mammals such as seals and dolphins, sea otters do not rely on
a layer of fat to insulate their bodies from the cold water.
Instead, sea otters depend on their fur to keep warm. But even
with a thick fur coat, the sea otter has to work hard to keep
warm, spending hours each day grooming its fur. Any water
needs to be squeezed out and air needs to be blown into the
fur. The air makes the fur waterproof, ensuring that the otter‘s
skin remains warm and dry. That‘s why cleaning is essential.
Dirty fur can easily get wet and place the otter at risk of dying
from the cold. In addition to their thick coats, sea otters have
another defense against the cold ocean water. The otter has a
high body temperature (around +38°C), which requires a fast
metabolic rate. As a result, sea otters need to eat a lot,
sometimes as much as 25% of their body weight each day. This
is the equivalent of humans eating about 100 hamburgers! Sea
otters eat a variety of foods, including shellfish, sea urchins, fish
and many different types of invertebrate sea life. As they must
constantly eat to survive, otters spend a lot of time diving for
the species „Enhydria lutris“, from the Greek „en hydra“,
meaning „in the water“, and the Latin „lutris“, meaning otter.

a layer of fat to insulate their bodies from the cold water.
Instead, sea otters depend on their fur to keep warm. But even
with a thick fur coat, the sea otter has to work hard to keep
warm, spending hours each day grooming its fur. Any water
needs to be squeezed out and air needs to be blown into the
fur. The air makes the fur waterproof, ensuring that the otter‘s
skin remains warm and dry. That‘s why cleaning is essential.
Dirty fur can easily get wet and place the otter at risk of dying
from the cold. In addition to their thick coats, sea otters have
another defense against the cold ocean water. The otter has a
high body temperature (around +38°C), which requires a fast
metabolic rate. As a result, sea otters need to eat a lot,
sometimes as much as 25% of their body weight each day. This
is the equivalent of humans eating about 100 hamburgers! Sea
otters eat a variety of foods, including shellfish, sea urchins, fish
