Sea otters are a very cute looking mammal. From the point of view of living environment, sea otters live in the ocean, so they get their name. Sea otters spend most of their time in the ocean, where they hunt and eat. Sea otters are strong swimmers and fast swimmers, so they can prey on many aquatic animals in the ocean as their own food. Moreover, their diving ability is relatively strong, often diving to the depth of 3-10 meters, sometimes even diving to the depth of 50 meters, after finding food to come up.
In terms of latitude, sea otters are distributed in high latitudes, specifically in the North Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. From their distribution countries, sea otters live in Canada, Japan, Russia, the United States and other countries. The climate in these places is relatively cold, and the sea water is relatively cold. Otters have some body structure adapted to the cold environment around them, which can effectively keep warm. For example, the fur of sea otters is very thick, and when they are in the water, the fur can keep the sea water out of their body and prevent the sea water from attacking the sea otter's body. In addition, the sea otter's skin is a thick layer of fat, the role of warmth is also very significant. These structures allow sea otters to survive in high latitudes.
As mentioned above, sea otters live in the waters of high latitudes, specifically in the North Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, sea otters live in the Arctic, not in the Antarctic. Although the Arctic is also a polar region, the temperature is much higher than that of the Antarctic.
