Comment
Intelligent, cute and curious, the sea otter wins the heart of anyone who observes it with its playful behavior on Canada's Pacific coast. This densely furred creature of the mustelid family likes to eat, sleep, play and groom itself while floating on its back. Able to dive under the waves and wrap itself in kelp to avoid drifting, it is very resourceful, but it also tends to live in groups, going so far as to hold the paw of its fellow creatures while falling asleep.
Interesting fact
The 2019 Canadian Silver Sea Otter coin features a unique design that showcases the sea otter's playful nature. The coin's reverse side depicts a sea otter floating on its back, holding a seaweed-wrapped fish in its paws, while its fur is meticulously detailed to showcase the soft, fluffy texture. This design not only highlights the sea otter's adorable features but also celebrates the rich biodiversity of Canada's marine ecosystems.
