For hundreds of years Sea Otters have been hunted and killed for there soft and thick radiant fur. The coastal waters of the pacific ocean, Bering Sea and many other places were once home to many of these wonderful otters. The worlds population of Sea Otters is now between 25,000 and 40,000 , a very small amount compared to how many there used to be. Recent transplants have re-established the population of this species. The coast of British Columbia was once completly wiped out of these marine mammals. Now the population is making a slow recovery and laws strictly forbid anyone from hunting or killing these cute Sea Otters.

ReplyDeleteDid you know, if you were to touch a sea otter with the end of one finger, you are toughing more hairs on them than you have on your whole body. This is because their fur is so thick!
