	Friends of the Sea Otter - Current - Sea Otter Plan for Oregon
		Sea otters--Enhydra lutris for Latin-speakers or taxonomists--elakha for those of you still speaking Chinook jargon--once ranged in number along the coasts of the North Pacific, from Russia and northern Japan, throughout the Aleutians, down the coasts of Alaska and British Columbia, to as far south as Baja.
		But things changed drastically in 1741 when traders and explorers realized that sea otter pelts were fungible assets because of the unusually dense fur that enables these warm-blooded creatures to survive in cold seawater without the large blubber reserves of whales or sea lions.
		The sea otters of Washington currently range along the rocky and remote Olympic coast and in the western portions of the Straight of Juan de Fuca, though daring migrants have made their way as far as the San Juan Islands, Puget Sound, and even to the central Oregon Coast.

	OTTERNET.COM Species Profiles- Sea Otter
		Sea Otters are unique marine mammals in that they use tools such as rocks to open their prey such as the shells of abalone.
		If the otters like eating sea urchins (one of their favorites), then the sea urchin population goes down, but the kelp flourishes (because the amount of urchins eating them are down), and the snails and fish flourish too, because they can eat more kelp or be protected within its coverage.
		Sea otters are social, and tend to congregate in groups of gender, with pups and females in a group and males in another group.
