California Sea Otter – Monterey, California

California Sea Otters certainly have an air of relaxation about them.  As relaxed as they seem they’re actually quite active eating 20% of their body weight in food per day. Their constant pursuit of food is a reflection of their fast metabolism that helps them survive in the frigid northern California water. Their diet includes mostly invertebrates such as sea urchins, mussels, abalone, clams, scallops, crabs, sea snails, chitons, octopus and squid. You might say they have similar taste to humans. Sushi anyone?

    I love your sea otter photos. Some day I’ve got to get back to Monterey and photograph them. Last time I was there I only had a point & shoot camera with me – lens wasn’t nearly long enough
