FactsThey use rocks as tools to crack open mollusks

They eat, sleep, hunt, mate, and give birth in the water

Can live up to 25 years

It is the smallest marine mammal

To keep from drifting apart while they snooze, sea otters often sleep holding paws.

They can live their entire life without leaving the water

They’re fur is the densest of any animal on earth

As a sea otters age, their hands and necks will lighten until almost white
