Picture 1 is a popular emoticon in the circle of friends ~ This is true ~ [ sea otters Enhydra lutris] indeed often hold hands and get together, which can reduce the risk of being blown away by the waves, but female sea otters seem to prefer to get together because Newborn sea otter calves cannot swim - to be precise, they can only float on the water, because their body hair is hollow at this time, and they usually lie on their mother's belly to sleep and nurse. But when the mother goes into the water to hunt, she just throws the baby sea otter on the water. At this time, if there is a group of aunties around, it becomes a safe nursery ~

In addition, there are many other things that are related to sea otters. The difference ~

① Sea otters are the densest mammals with hair, with 150,000 hairs per square centimeter! ! ! Enough to keep them insulated and waterproof. This thick hair tsk tsk tsk

② Sea otters are also highly intelligent animals. They will choose various "chopping block" stones to place on their chests, such as sea urchins, scallops, sea crabs , big lobsters ... Mr. Sea Otter broke his chest with a punch Everything in the big rocks turned into sea otter fresh food.

③Sea otters are important members in maintaining the ecological balance of the kelp group. Without them to control the number of herbivores in the ecological chain, the entire seagrass group will soon collapse.

⑤ In the 18th and 19th centuries, sea otters were hunted in large numbers for their precious fur. It was not until the early 20th century that legislative protection was slowly restored. But now, due to pollution from oil leaks, their hair often loses its original function and dies of hypothermia. At the same time, the eutrophication of seawater causes toxic algae to accumulate in their bodies, which will cause them to go insane

⑥ Another thing that is more harmful to them is that they often appear in fishing areas favored by fishermen, and various fishing boat collisions occur one after another. Some of them are actually intentional
