Ultimate relaxation - Vancouver Aquarium.

AquaFacts: 1. The only sea otters near Vancouver are the three living at the Vancouver Aquarium. 2. Sea otters have one of the thickest fur coats in the animal kingdom. 3. Did you know oil spills are the greatest threat to sea otters? Sea otter fur loses its buoyancy and insulating capacity when covered with oil. This leads to hypothermia and pneumonia. When sea otters groom and clean their oiled fur, they ingest and inhale oil. This has detrimental effects on their liver, kidneys and lungs.
