Sea Otters 2016 Calendar

Sea Otters Wall Calendar: Sea Otters 2016 Wall Calendar's twelve photographs highlight sea otters' familiar mammalian traits-dutiful grooming, dedication to their offspring, and a somewhat precocious nature. Endearingly awkward on land, sea otters are born in the water and spend nearly all their time there, floating in the northern Pacific kelp beds that shelter their favorite food: the purple sea urchin. Desire for their luxuriant fur nearly pushed them to extinction, but today they are protected around the world as a threatened species and widely recognized as beneficial to the coastal ecosystems they help balance.Photography by Tom and Pat LeesonFeatures adorable images of sea otters in their natural habitats with fun factsPrevious and next month viewsObserves major holidays and moon phases
