🦦 Sea Otter mothers spend a lot of their time grooming their pups and are often seen carrying them on their chest. The pup’s fur traps so much air that they cannot dive underwater (like a natural life jacket for toddlers), and when the mother leaves to go hunt for food, she will often wrap her baby in kelp, leaving it to bob on the surface like a little cork.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ courtesy of: @maxwelhohn⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #seaotters #otters #sea #biology #science
