5 Interesting Facts About Otters!

Sea otters hold hands while sleeping - they float on their backs and hold paws with other otters to stop themselves drifting apart on the current. Groups of resting otters are called rafts.
They have the densest fur of any mammal - up to one million hairs per square inch, which traps air to keep them warm and dry in cold water. They must groom constantly to maintain this insulating layer.
Otters use tools - sea otters carry a favourite flat stone in a pouch of loose skin under their armpit, using it to crack open shellfish while floating on their backs.
River otters can close their ears and nostrils when underwater - they're adapted for both aquatic and terrestrial life and can remain submerged for up to 4 minutes.
Baby otters (called pups) can't swim at first and must be taught by their mothers - sea otter mothers carry their pups on their chests while floating, keeping them dry and warm until they're ready to learn.
