Photograph of a Southern Sea Otter, Enhydra lutris nereis, at Moss Landing, CaliforniaOtters eat clams, mussels, sea urchins, abalone, oysters, squid, crab and other small marine species. They need to eat 25 to 30% of their body weight in food each day! If you watch them for any length of time, you see they are always in motion if they aren’t sleeping.
