Sea otters aren’t just cute—they’re also one of the few marine animals that use tools. Here in BC, you might see a sea otter repeatedly slamming a shell against some rocks until the shell cracks open. Some will even float with a rock balanced on their belly and use it as a personal dining table, striking the shell against it with quick, sharp blows. The skill is learned, not instinctive—young otters watch and copy the adults around them. Many otters even have a “favourite rock” they use again an

Researchers have revealed that individual otters that use tools are able to access larger prey and reduce tooth damage when their preferred prey becomes depleted. The study found that female otters, who make up the majority of tool users, are able to eat larger prey and reduce tooth damage due to their smaller body size and weaker biting

Sea otters are known for their clever use of tools, and they often carry around rocks for several practical reasons. One of the main uses is for breaking open hard-shelled prey like clams, mussels, and sea urchins. They'll use the rock as a tool while floating on their backs, smashing the shells against it to access the soft meat inside. Additionally, sea otters have a loose patch of skin under their forearms that serves as a sort of pocket. In these pockets, they can store their favorite rocks
