A mother's love: A baby otter is sound asleep on its mother's belly in Monterey, California

Sea otters are an endangered species, and their numbers are declining due to hunting by greedy fishermen and by pollution of their habitat.

Otters are actually good for the environment, as they consume urchins.  Urchins devastate kelp forests, thus ruining the habitat for countless other marine species.  Wherever otters make it their home, aquatic life flourishes.
