| A sea otter, resting on its back, holding its paw out of the water for warmth. While the sea otter has extremely dense fur on its body, the fur is less dense on its head, arms and paws so it will hold these out of the cold water to conserve body heat.

| Guy watches the sunset over the SIO pier, the research pier at Scripps Institution of Oceanography SIO. Image ID: 26541 Location: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California, USA | UCSD Library glows at sunset (Geisel Library, UCSD Central Library). Image ID: 26909 Location: University of California, San Diego, USA | A sea otter eats a clam that it has taken from the shallow sandy bottom of Elkhorn Slough. Because sea otters have such a high metabolic rate, they eat up to 30% of their body weight each day in the form of clams, mussels, urchins, crabs and abalone. Sea otters are the only known tool-using marine mammal, using a stone or old shell to open the shells of their prey as they float on their backs.
