Rare, completely marine otter (Enhydra lutris) of the northern Pacific, usually found in kelp beds.

Floating on its back, it opens mollusks by smashing them on a stone balanced on its chest. The large hind feet are broad and flipperlike. It is 40-65 in. (100-160 cm) long and weighs 35-90 lbs (16-40 kg). The thick lustrous coat is reddish to dark brown. By 1910 it had been hunted almost to extinction for its fur; now fully protected, it is gradually increasing in numbers.
