The sea otter is a large member of the weasel family. The average sea otter weighs about 22-99 lbs., but the largest one recorded was 4’11” and weighed 119 lbs. The sea otter is the only marine mammal with no blubber. Its thick fur keeps it warm. The sea otter’s fur is the densest of any mammal, with about 150,000 strands of fur per square centimeter. Sea otters feed on sea urchins, mollusks, crustaceans, and fish. They are diurnal, which means they sleep at night and are awake during the day. The sea otter keeps a sharp lookout for predators such as sharks and killer whales.


We should always be keeping our eyes open for temptation so that we can resist it. “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the LORD has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12).
