My favorite animal


My favorite animal is the Sea otter,  I remember watching  a video in Facebook some years ago there they player and cared for their pup. I like the sea otter because they are very adorable, affectionate and smart.






Sea otters live in coastal waters,  and they are distributed in several countries as in Russia, EEUU, some places of Asia and Chile. In Chile is called “Chungungo” and it's less hairy than the North Hemisphere. The sea otter may also pluck snails and other organisms from kelp and dig deep into underwater mud for clams, they eat in the morning, sleep during the middle of the day and go back to look for food before sunset.

Male sea otters usually weigh 22 to 45 kg and are 1.2 to 1.5 m in length and females are smaller, weighing 14 to 33 kg and measuring 1.0 to 1.4 m in length.

The females are very affectionate with their puppies, occasionally even care for orphaned puppies!,  a mother gives her infant almost constant attention, cradling it on her chest away from the cold water and attentively grooming its fur.


Unfortunately they are in danger, because sea otters have the thickest fur of any mammal, is a main target for many hunters.
