When sea otters get hungry they love to eat large abalone, sea urchins, clams, mussels, crabs, and small marine snails. However, all of the shell cracking can be hard on their teeth. So, what’s an otter to do? These intelligent creatures have chosen to use certain tools to crack open the shells like sticks, rocks, and other things available. Studies show that female otters had less tooth damage than males so they are more likely to find natural tools they can use.

@Juliaacv they certainly are adorable and isn't it just right that female otters are more adaptable to natural tools I mean females can do anything, right?

Nature truly is amazing.
When I was growing up my parents would take us to the zoo. I remember being fascinated by the otters
