Marine Biologist REACTS to Casual Geographic / The TRUTH About Sea Otters

A marine biologist reacts to Casual Geographic's viral video about the disturbing behaviors of sea otters, as well as comments suggesting to "do more research" about why female sea otters have nose scars. Which is a bold thing to say to a marine biologist who has worked hands on with sea otters for over a decade. 00:00 - Casual Geographic Sea Otters 01:00 - Marine Biologist Background 02:00 - Why Do Female Sea Otters Have Nose Scars? 02:45 - What Do Male Sea Otters Do to Females? 04:45 - Sea Otters and Baby Seals 05:40 - Otters are Evil? 06:49 - Are Sea Otters Dangerous? 07:50 - Marine Biologist Reacts to Casual Geographic 09:08 - KPassionate Casual Geographic knows his stuff and I encourage everyone to follow his social media. However, my sea otter reaction video WAS made in response to the countless comments I that appear on all of my sea otter videos. I simply want to encourage viewers to remember that Casual Geographic's wildlife TikToks, and my videos as well for that matter, are meant to entertain as well as educate. Sometimes this means being a little dramatic. Casual Geographic's original video on sea otters:    / @mndiaye_97   So what is the truth about otters? Are sea otters the menacing predators of viral lore? Or are otters the most adorable animal on the planet? Is it possible that the truth about otters is somewhere in between? Well, I can absolutely confirm that Casual Geographic has done his research. Sea otters are the largest member of the weasel family, a family that includes wolverines and honey badgers, and otters are just as mischievous, determined, and dangerous as their more infamous cousins. So I should be clear that this Casual Geographic reaction is not meant to criticize him or his videos. Sea otter mating behavior can be aggressive. Male sea otters will sometimes bite a female sea otter on the nose in order to prevent her from escaping. Which is why many female sea otters have nose scars. But it's important to note that these hyper aggressive mating behaviors are happening in California where the sea otter population is booming. The population growth is WONDERFUL news but the problem is that these southern sea otters are not expanding their range. This is important because male sea otters are solitary and will establish a territory. These male otters will then patrol and fiercely defend that territory from other males. And all the female sea otters within that territory are his to breed with as long as he can fight off other male competitors. Because the sea otters in California are not expanding their range, there are hundreds of male sea otters, typically juveniles or geriatric males, without a territory and thus unable to breed. Not because they don’t want to, but because the dominant male sea otters won’t let them. Sources: https://werc.ucsc.edu/Publications/20...
