How Sea Otters Keep Warm - Received from Ashley Gaylord in North Carolina Q: Do Sea Otters have blubber to keep them warm if they live off the Alaska coastline?

Sea otters keep warm in Alaska, not by having blubber but by having extremely dense fur. In fact, sea otters have the thickest fur of any mammal on earth! In one square centimetre there are more hairs on a sea otter's fur than there is on your entire head!

Sea otters have two layers of fur, one is a dense down layer close to their skin and the second layer consists of longer, coarser hairs that extend above the down layer. Sea otters keep extra warm by constantly grooming themselves, they blow air into their fur, that gets trapped in the down layer and therefore provides a warm insulating air layer next to their skin. For more information on sea otters check out our sea otter web page and our Sea Otter Stewardship site!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
