California Coast & Ocean
Sea otters is a complete and up-to-date examination of the history, ecology, and behavior of these playful creatures living along the California coast. The nine chapters of this small, engaging, and well-illustrated book cover everything from habitat needs to the feeding of the young.
Book Description
Discover the world of sea otters. Sea otters may look enchantingly cute and playful, but they are highly specialized marine mammals, superbly adapted to life in the cold, harsh Pacific Ocean. In these beautifully illustrated pages, you'll learn captivating details about a sea otter's life, from birth to adulthood. Through ongoing field studies of wild California sea otters, we're unlocking many of the secrets of sea otter society. Do pups learn what to eat by watching their mothers? What happens to orphaned otters? The author reveals exciting new discoveries about sea otters' highly individual food preferences, use of tools, social bonds, mating habits, parenting styles and legendary playfulness.
