Today, I thought about how much fun you would all have being here and having a chance to watch the otters in Moss Landing! A day in Elkhorn Slough with the otters is much like a day with my students at WPPK. Why?

Well, here are a few reasons:

• Otters work about one third of their day and play together for two thirds of their day!
• Otters like to be social and play with their friends
• Otters like to feel safe and secure
• Otters like to explore
• Otters are very, very curious, just like that wonderful monkey, named George!
• Otters are very smart!
• Otters are not afraid to try new things
• Otters work together to solve problems

Fun Otter Fact #4
Sea otters are about 4 feet long (or 48 inches long). How long are you? Ask your parents to measure you! Otters weigh about 55 pounds. How much do you weigh?
