Did you know that sea otters don’t normally hold hands together while they’re floating? They usually keep track of each other to keep floating by keeping an eye on one another. Not just this but they listen to their fellow’s voices and sounds and keep in touch through occasional tail and flipper contact that they make during floating.
While otters holding hands isn’t really common, what’s common is that they can practically just dive hundreds of feet in the waters or sea. Rocks are used as their tools. Another sea otter story that went viral was a sea otter mama carrying its baby on the tummy in the water.

Baby Sea Otters and Mama
The baby isn’t the size of his big mama so he can’t basically hold hands with her.
But these sea otter babies; called pups, just lie on their mama’s tummies during the floating and enjoy the water a little bit. While the moms go for hunting in the sea or fish, diving a mile or more within, they wrap the babies in seaweed so the pups won’t float away or drown.
