Description: o Physical characteristics of sea otters possess is the fact that they are small animals with short legs which have thick fur and short circular ears which means that they belong to the family Mustelidae[1]. The sea otters have varying fur colors from dark brown to black [6]. They are also highly social animals who travel in groups called rafts; a single raft could range from 10 sea otters to over 100 sea otters [6].  Scientific Name[1]: Enhydra lutis …

One day Badger and Otter where in the cherry orchard. They were searching for food when they noticed a young man going into a shed with a basket full of freshly picked cherries. They both wanted those cherries, but they knew that the man would not just give them the cherries. So they came up with a plan to trick the man into giving them the cherries. They took pieces of wood, carved them to look like coins and painted them gold. Badger and Otter approached the man and ask for the basket of…

the lecture are both about decreasing sea otters population among north America's west coast. This event happened rapidly. The author of the reading believes that environmental pollution has the major role in this case. He argues that attacks by predators may be another cause, but he believes usually they hunt larger animals. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the reading. He thinks predators are the most important cause of declining sea otters population. He believes orcas will…

don't have things like that so they have to improvise. The sea otter does. A group of scientist including myself have went to study the sea otter and how they function without the advantages we have. Sea otters snack on a sea snail called abalone. But the abalones shell if very hard and often not easy to break. We spotted a sea otter one day and it was laying flat on its back with a rock in one hand and a abalone on its belly. The otter began beating the abalone and cracked the shell and was…

The ancestors of the current Gitga’at people used to live in Laxgal’tsap (Old Town) in Kitikiata Inlet, an area on the northwestern side of the Douglas Channel. They lived in this area during the winter months, but used several other camps along the coastline during the warmer months. The Gitga’at had their first encounter with the Europeans in the 1870s. Their relationship remained economical until the arrival of two missionaries: Thomas Crosby and William Duncan. Many of the Gitga’at joined…

nonliving part to take out of an ecosystem is a keystone species. The sea otter is a keystone species because of how many different parts of its ecosystem it affects. One part of the sea otters ecosystem that it affects is the kelp forests in the water. The sea otter and the kelp forests have a mutualistic symbiotic relationship because with the otters eating the sea urchins, the kelp forests stay healthy and provide a home for the otters. This relationship also helps ecosystems above the water…

Both the passage and the lecture are concerned with the decrease in sea otter population in areas of the Alaskan coast. The author of the passage claims that the decrease is due to pollution of the otters' environment. The professor refutes this point. He avers that the population decline originated in increased predator activity in these areas. First of all, the author points out that there are notable sources of pollution in Alaska, such as oil rigs. Tests conducted on water samples from these…

The North American River Otter (Lutra canadensis) is an animal that is often seen in zoo captivity. Previous research demonstrates that otters are solitary with age, form kinship like relationships, often undergo positive reinforcement and active training techniques, and become lethargic after feeding. This study sought to demonstrate the effects of number of people and time since feeding on river otter backflip activity. By observing two river otters every minute post feeding for backflips and…

by the story of an individual; however, one person’s story can attempt to influence history, often through print. Via publishing their own narratives, Bibb and Otter both expressed their sentiment for broad influence, to varying success. Bibb leverages legal and religious debates to appeal to rational Northerners and poor whites, while Otter markets his wilder and more violent lifestyle towards his jolly fellow brethren and those fascinated or disgusted by his multitudes of amoral sprees through…
