Sea otters are among the few animals known to regularly use tools. Hidden beneath their forearms is a loose skin pouch where they store food and, often, a favorite rock. These rocks are used to crack open shellfish such as clams, mussels, and sea urchins. Researchers have observed that some otters become attached to a particular rock and carry it with them for years, using it repeatedly while feeding. This fascinating behavior showcases the intelligence and adaptability of these marine mammals. Their unique tool-using skills continue to amaze scientists and animal lovers around the world.
