Moss Landing Southern Sea Otters–03

Photograph of a Southern Sea Otter, Enhydra lutris nereis, at Moss Landing, CaliforniaOne or two “rafts” of otters can be seen nearly every day near a cove at the end of Jetty Road at the sand dunes of Moss landing State Beach. A “raft” is a group of otters floating side-by-side. They often sleep wrapped in stands of kelp so they won’t drift too far from one another. These photographs, however, were taken at the harbor close to the intersection of Jetty Road and Highway 1.
