My favorite animal


My favorite animal is the ''enhydra lutris'' or commonly know as ''sea otter'', have a elongated body is finished off by a conical tail (slightly compressed dorsoventrally) wide at its base, but gradually reduced towards its end, and its long neck by a broad  and flattened head where they are located eyes and ears very discreet. stand in a long snout and abundant whiskers or beards, their hind legs are flat and shaped fin, this allows them to swim quickly. Their front legs are retracted claws like cats and this allows them to grab their prey with ease and also allows them to clean their fur. since it is one of the most dense of the nature.
Its distribution extends from the coast of Japan to Baja California, lives in salt water and kept near the coast, feeding on crustaceans, fish and seafood, to avoid being carried away by drifting sea otters tend to sleep holding hands, what makes it very tender in the eyes of the spectators, sea otters also need to take care of their fur because protects them from cold water and helps to dive.
