Common Name: Sea Otter
Habitat: the sea otter lives primarily in coastal shallow waters. The ocean floor is where they find their different food and then can play at the top of the waters.
Reproduction: when the female becomes pregnant it usually takes between six to eight months. Then most otters are morning in May. The female has one pup about every three to four years. The babies are then born in the water with their eyes wide open and ready to begin swimming.
Prey: sharks, humans, and killer whales often hunt the otter. Whereas the Otter hunts small crabs, mollusks and crustaceans.
Interesting facts: A sea otter reaches it's sexual maturing between the ages of three and six. Otters can dive up to 250 feet. They also are able to eat up to thirty percent of their body weight per day.
Why I chose it: I chose the otter because it is one of the friendliest creatures in the sea and they are cute.
