Splash into World Oceans Day with the southern sea otters! 🦦 With big appetites (otters eat 25 percent of their body weight every day) and a diet composed primarily of marine invertebrates, their feeding behaviors greatly affect their ecosystem. Sea otters are essential in keeping the kelp forest flourishing, which promotes biodiversity and enhances the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Their health is directly tied to the health of the oceans, making sea otter conservation work even more vital. Come to the Detroit Zoo to learn more about these amazing animals and how you can help keep the oceans clean for them. #DetroitZoo #WorldOceansDay #SeaOtters
