Otters are beautiful, playful animals that live in wetlands across the world. Species are declining due to habitat destruction, reduction of prey, roadkill, and illegal trade for fur and as pets. There are 13 different species, 12 of which are disappearing. Otters may look playful and carefree, but they play a powerful role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Unlike most marine mammals, sea otters have almost no insulating blubber and instead rely on extraordinarily dense fur. Their fur, which can exceed 1 million hairs per square inch, traps air next to the skin like a dry suit. Otters are found all over the world....though about 90% of all sea otters live on the coast of Alaska...Otters form "rafts," where they hold hands to avoid drifting apart. Some rafts can include up to 20 otters. This behavior showcases their highly social nature. there's a great documentary on national geographic called Billy & Molly: an otter love story.
