Do sea otters groom themselves a lot?
An sea otter’s fur keeps it alive in the icy water, so each sea otter spends a couple of hours a day grooming to keep its coat in good shape. You’ll often see otters rolling in the water and rubbing themselves—they’re cleaning their fur and rubbing insulating air into the hairs. They’re extremely limber, and their skeletons are very loosely jointed, so otters can groom every inch of their bodies—even the middle of their backs.
