We will be two places at once on Saturday September 26th, because sea otter education is important news to share 🦦! It's also the final day of #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek - so let's end it with a splash 🌊.

Sea otters once thrived along the #Oregon coast, but today, there are zero #seaotters living in the wild here 🦦💔. Oregon is the only U.S. state within the sea otter’s native range that no longer has a resident population of this important keystone species. 📸: @PSChanel

Can you 👀 spot the difference between #SeaOtter and #RiverOtter paws? 🦦🐾

*The face we make when people mistake sea lions and seals for sea otters 🦦😅*
#Seaotters are members of the Mustelidae (mustelid) family, making them more closely related to animals like wolverines, badgers, and minks than to #seals or #sealions.

Did you know there’s a small population of #seaotters living off the coast of #Japan 🇯🇵? Around 20 to be exact - they are the Asian/Russian sub-species.
Our Elakha Alliance Board Member, Jeff Griffin, was lucky enough to spot a couple during his recent trip to #Hokkaido 🦦.

Do you know what really makes our skin crawl 😵💫?
There are ZERO #seaotters along the #Oregon coast.
It truly is SPOOKY that they aren't here, but we're working to change that very soon. Grab a shirt and get into the spirit of #conservation!

🦦 #Seaotter skeletons are unusually flexible, with loosely connected bones, short forelimbs, and no clavicle. Combined with their natural buoyancy, these adaptations help them comfortably float, forage, groom, and even sleep on their backs.

#Kelp anchors itself to rocky surfaces using a structure called a holdfast, seen here. This spaghetti-like network made up of multiple haptera has one very important job: securing the kelp to the seafloor and holding it “fast” through all but the most turbulent conditions 🌊
