Are the sea otter adaptions for habitat survival?

Yes, sea otters possess several adaptations that enhance their survival in marine habitats. Their thick fur provides insulation against cold water, while their dexterous paws allow them to manipulate tools, such as rocks, to crack open shellfish. Additionally, they have a high metabolic rate to maintain energy in chilly environments and a unique social structure that includes rafts for resting and protecting pups. These adaptations enable them to thrive in diverse coastal ecosystems.
