Otter on Ice

Back from an extended hiatus from social media, looking forward to returning to regularly sharing photos!

Northern Sea Otter
Prince William Sound, Alaska
April 2024

A sea otter rests on floating ice after a meal. Sea otters rely on their high metabolism and their plush coat to keep warm. However, this high metabolism requires them to eat a lot of food. In order to maintain its body weight, a sea otter must eat 25% of its body weight per day.
