| Many people are intrigued by sea otters. Like whales and other marine mammals, they breathe air, feed milk to their young, are warm-blooded, and have hair on their bodies. |

Sea Otters spend most of their time resting or swilling on their backs. They are the only marine mammals that eat, sleep, and carry young while floating on their backs. |
| When sea otters are alarmed, they hold their paws up in the air and hiss. When anyone comes too close, they dive under water for safety. |  |

Sea otters once lived along the north Pacific coast. Today they can only be found near Russia, Alaska and Central California. Their fur is so thick it would be impossible to part it with a comb. |
