2019 Sea Otters Calendars

Endearingly awkward on land, sea otters are born in the water and spend nearly all their time there, floating in the northern Pacific kelp beds that shelter their favorite food: the purple sea urchin. Familiar mammalian traits, dutiful grooming, dedication to their offspring, and a somewhat precocious nature, have drawn people to sea otters for ages. Desire for their luxuriant fur nearly pushed them to extinction, but today they are protected around the world as a threatened species and widely recognized as beneficial to the coastal ecosystems they help balance.
