Open Ocean.. Sea Otters in the Arctic :))
Sea Otters interested me the most on the video today, because they can be found in the Arctic. I found out that Sea Otter must consume 25-40 percent of its body weight daily, just to keep warm. They also, rest in the Kelp forest in the ocean; they drape the Kelp over there body to help them from not drifting off. The Sea Otters feed on clams, crabs, snails, starfish, abalone, and so on. They dive up to 37m to find food. Their dives can last as long as ten minutes. It swims to the bottom to find its food from the upturning of the rocks. It sticks the food it caught inside his armpit. It will return to the surface to either eat or just get another breath and dive again. They must watch out though cause there on the food chain for Eagles and White sharks.
