Louise, THANK YOU! Thank you for bringing sea otters to the attention of so many people! My husband has a nonprofit organization called the Elakha Alliance. The Alliance is dedicated to returning sea otters to the Oregon coastal sea. If you want to learn more than you ever imagined was known about these magnificent creatures, please visit the website elakhaalliance.org.
Sea otters have no fat or blubber like seals, sea lions or whales, just to name a few. To keep themselves warm they must groom themselves continually. Their secret is in their fur: there are a MILLION hairs per square inch on their bodies! Square Inch!!!
Sea otter’s range once was from Japan up and across the Bering Sea then down the North American coast line to Baja California! They occur only in the Pacific Ocean. But they were hunted almost to extinction in the 1800s because of their luxurious coats. They have populations currently in Alaska, Vancouver Island; off British Columbia, Canada; the Puget Sound around Seattle, Washington; and Monterrey Bay in California.
The Elakha Alliance is working diligently to bring the sea otters back to Oregon for many reasons that you will learn about by going to the website. It’s packed with terrific videos, too!
Enjoy yourself watching the videos and learn a lot of great information, too!
Thank you so much for bringing sea otters to the attention of so many of your followers!
Well, Undercover Otter (https://undercoverotter.com/) is definitely craft-related as it's a hand-dyed yarn brand from Amsterdam (I think, at least they're from the Netherlands). I love their yarn. :) Definitely worth looking into.
When my daughter was 2 she would take forever to go anywhere because she was always looking for pebbles, and would sleep with her hand tangled in my hair (I am her security blanket- not great for the neck, but it does make you really feel loved).
omg.....i'm losing it at Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity!!! lololololol
Steve the Otter is very wise

Oh my goodness, thank you for this. Another otter fact to add to my collection 🧡
This is the information I didn't know I needed, Louise! Thank you! ❤❤❤
(And love all the puns. Funny fact: "puns" is "farts" in Portuguese. 😅🤣)
Oh, that's fantastic. I love that 🤣🧡
Otters have pockets and gift each other pebbles? You have just made me love them all the more, and made my day.
I ❤️ Steve 🦦
Oh, my favourite post of the month! 💙💙💙

Oh goodness yes, thanks for the reminder.
Maybe I need to do an otter related “Five on Friday” post
You reminded me of something I learned today. The binturong's (aka bearcat) pee smells of popcorn.
Every day's a school day 🤣🤣
Oh my word, so adorable. I am definitely going to be channeling otter from now on.
When my daughter was 2 she would take forever to go anywhere because she was always looking for pebbles, and would sleep with her hand tangled in my hair (I am her security blanket- not great for the neck, but it does make you really feel loved).
I think I may start calling her my little otter
Aww, that's so lovely
"Just appreciating their pebble" - That is so cute!! 🥰 We have much to learn from the otter! 🦦😆
We really do. They are just the best creatures
Omg! Now way... Louise, I love this! 🥰🤣🥰
As I was reading this I thought to myself: I wonder if Louise has seen In Otter News. Then popped up Steve 😂
Steve is my life guru 🤣
Oh wow, those cheeky otters
