Wrapping up Sea Otter Awareness Week with Moea and one of her favorite activities: mealtime! 🦦
Southern sea otters can eat about 20–25% of their body weight in food every day! That’s why our otters get fresh, restaurant-quality, sustainably sourced seafood multiple times a day.
Our penultimate profile post for #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek features Katmai! She might be the easiest otter to pick out at a glance – watch this video to find out why! 🦦
Sea otters are meant to be happy and healthy; not struggling and covered in oil. 🦦
Off California, where they play, eat, rest, & raise their young, there are active oil rigs posing threats to the future of these animals.

This is the sea otter version of lying on the couch; on your back, front paws tucked in, hind flippers in the air. This is Sea Otter Awareness Week, a time to celebrate the important ecological role that sea otters play in keeping their kelp forest habitats healthy!
