Kids Edition | Otters - 10 Secrets Revealed

The secrets are out - Here are 10 wild secrets of the playful, fully energized and loving otters. Sea otters rank as one of nature's most intelligent marine mammals, having the densest fur on Earth with up to one million hairs per square inch to combat icy Pacific waters—no blubber required. Famous for tool use, they select favorite rocks to smash open clams, crabs, and urchins while floating belly-up, storing their "hammer" in skin pockets like clever inventors. With voracious appetites, they consume 25-30% of their body weight daily in seafood, playing a vital keystone role by controlling sea urchin populations and preserving underwater kelp forests. River otters and sea otters alike display enchanting social habits, forming rafts where they hold paws to avoid drifting during sleep, wrap in kelp anchors, or tumble playfully in currents. Newborn pups float effortlessly thanks to ultra-buoyant baby fur, allowing moms to dive deep while babies bob safely above. From breath-holding dives up to 8 minutes in river species to sensitive whiskers detecting hidden prey, otters combine adorable charm with remarkable survival skills that make every sighting unforgettable.
