Meet the Southern sea otter! 🦦

Sea otters aren’t just adorable animals with more fur per square inch than any other mammal. They’re also an important keystone species, meaning their presence is central to the health of their environment. Learn more about them in this #EarthIsBlue video!

It may be Sea Otter Awareness Week, but Zoe wants everyone to know California sea lions can be pretty cute too. #seaotterawarenessweek #sealion #rescued #newenglandaquarium (at New England Aquarium)

Sea Otter Awareness Week is almost over. You can find the gray toy; Iglo the Sea Otter in my Etsy Shop Rakun Atelier A last fact about them; A group of resting otters is called a raft. Otters love to rest in groups. Researchers have seen concentrations of over 1,000 otters floating together. To keep from drifting away from each other, sea otters will wrap themselves up in seaweed, forming something that resembles a raft.

This week is Sea Otter Awareness Week, and we can't get enough. These fluffy marine mammals can be found in several of your national marine sanctuaries on the West Coast, including Olympic Coast, Monterey Bay, and Greater Farallones. Let us know where you've seen a sea otter! (Photo Mike Baird. Image description: A sea otter laying on its back in the water with an open mouth.)

It’s #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek! Each year, we pause to recognize the importance of this keystone species that thrives in the cool coastal water and kelp forests along the Pacific Coast, and the threats that they continue to face today. Visit the #MNZoo: https://t.co/UegKU25VWG
