Wildlife Wednesday Fun Facts: Sea Otter newborn pups cannot sink or dive and sea otters can live their entire lives without leaving the water. They also have the thickest fur of any mammal (as much as 1,000,000 hairs per sq in! 😉
There are 13 species of otter around the world and many of them are endangered. Shootings and entrapment in fishing traps and nets pose a major threat to sea otter populations as well as oil spills from offshore drilling or shipping. If you want to know more on how to help them, here is one of the organizations I support: http://www.defenders.org/sea-otter/threats
