Sea Otter

Enhydra lutris

Description:

The Sea Otter is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. It preys mostly on marine invertebrates such as sea urchins, various molluscs and crustaceans, and some species of fish. They sometimes get in large groups to feed or for safety; this is called rafting (picture 2).

Habitat:

The coastal areas of the Pacific ocean.

Notes:

I saw these guys on a tour boat back in August 2012.
