Ocean life up close

Summary

Sea otters have the thickest fur of any mammal in the world! It is so thick and compact that their skin never gets wet. Dense fur is essential for sea otters as they swim through frigid waters. This childrens title tells how the smallest ocean mammal survives at sea. Visuals of related animals teach about animal group classification. Zoomed-in photo bubbles with labels identify key body parts up close. Species spotlights offer range maps and conservation status bars. Size comparison diagrams use scale and comparison to show size. Prey and predator boxes provide specific food chain information. Speed meters show how slow or fast an ocean animal moves. Table of contents, glossary, index are also included
