Description:

Description: Sea otters have the densest fur in the animal kingdom, ranging from 250,000 to a million hairs per square inch, which insulates them and maintains warmth. Unlike other marine mammals, the sea otter does not have a layer of blubber (fat) to help keep it warm. Photo by USFWS. Date: 27 January 2010, 16:35. Source: All fur no blubber.
