Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Can baby otters swim right after they are born?
Baby otters cannot swim at birth and are actually afraid of water at first. Mother otters must push their pups into the water and guide them until they learn to paddle independently.
Why do sea otters hold hands while floating?
Sea otters hold hands while resting on their backs in water to prevent current from drifting them apart from each other or their group while sleeping.
