When otters want to take a nap during the day, they will place their paws over their eyes so
they won’t be bothered by the sunlight.
-
When a sea otter is resting, it drapes little brown
blankets of kelp loosely around itself for warmth.
-
Sea otters also rest and sleep on their back with
their paws and flippers poking out of the water. This keeps the parts of their body that is less furry warm and dry. It also
conserves body heat.
-
"The otter rolls over and over ... without touching the head,
arms, legs or tail to water -- they do this frequently and with the greatest ease; so smoothly is it accomplished that it
has been impossible to figure out just how it's done."
-
Sea otters often wrap up when sleeping in order to avoid from drifting away during the night.
-
They mostly “groom” their head, arms, the legs, and
their webbed feet.
-
A sea otter can also make a weird clicking sound, from trying to open something such
as a shell, with a rock. This clicking sounds is even heard from above the water.
