Sea Otters LOVE Ice! But Why -- A Marine Biologist EXPLAINS

#otter #seaotter #kpassionate Teeth are important for every creature that has them! From the long spear of the narwhal to the crushing of the sea otter, they are all specially designed for the needs of the animals! In the wild, sea otters will often eat the shells of clams, mussels, and sea urchins. These rough shells help keep their teeth clean by scraping away plaque and debris. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to give the shells to sea otters under human care. This is because we carefully examine the quality and quantity of their food. Something that isn't always possible with shellfish unless the shells have been removed. That's one of the reason we give the sea otters these ice treats! Chewing on ice simulates the hard shells. It helps keep their teeth clean! Plus, ice helps these otters stay cool during the warm summer months. All the otters in this video were rescued when they were extremely young after being abandoned or separated from their moms. After their rehabilitation, federal agencies like the NOAA in the US or the Department of Fisheries Canada, deemed them non-releasable due to the fact that they lack the skills to survive in the wild. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to support the channel check out my Patreon!
