The Vulnerability of Sea Otters Explained

Описание: #otter #seaotter #kpassionate
Sea otters are an integral part of their marine ecosystem. They are also one of the most unique animals on planet earth. Their evolutionary path led them to develop the densest fur coat in the animal kingdom! However, this amazing adaptation has been flipped to their disadvantage with the rise of the fur trade and the increase in size and frequency of oil spills. Oil spills have the capacity to affect marine life in an enormously negative way. The Exxon Valdez oil spill decimated sea otter populations off the coast of Alaska and forever changed the way we look at oil spills. During this episode we look at what makes oil spills so impactful for sea otters and what small changes we can make in our every day lives that will make big impacts on this amazing species and the environment they call home.
