I LOVE Sea otters, NO ONE can top my love for sea otters - I used to WANT a Sea otter as a pet, then I found out it was illegal. That's how MUCH I love Sea otters
Size and Weight
Heaviest Weasels: They are the largest members of the mustelid (weasel) family.
Smallest Marine Mammals: Despite their family status, they are the smallest mammals adapted fully to the sea.
Males: Weigh between 60 and 100 pounds (27 to 45 kg) and stretch up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) long.
Females: Noticeably smaller, weighing between 30 and 75 pounds (14 to 34 kg).
Fur Color and Texture
Shades of Brown: Their dense fur ranges from deep chocolate brown to a lighter, reddish-brown.
Grizzled Look: As they age, the fur on their heads, necks, and shoulders bleaches out, changing to a distinct silvery-gray or cream color.
Constant Grooming: Their fur often looks spiky or puffed up when dry, as they blow air bubbles into it to stay warm.
Facial Features
Whiskers: They possess prominent, highly sensitive whiskers (vibrissae) on their snout to detect vibrations and locate food in dark, murky water.
Eyes and Ears: Their eyes are small and dark, while their ears are tiny, rounded, and resemble a bear's ears. Both their nostrils and ears tightly close when they submerge.
Limbs and Tail
Front Paws: Resemble small, padded mittens with dexterous claws, used for grasping food and gripping tools.
Loose Skin Pockets: Folds of loose skin under each forearm serve as built-in pouches to carry collected food or a favorite rock tool.
Hind Flippers: Their back feet are large, webbed, and flat like swim fins, optimized for paddling upside down.
The Tail: Their tail is thick, muscular, and slightly flattened, acting as a rudder for steering through coastal currents.
