In Search of the California Sea Otter

The central California coast is known for its beautiful beaches, soaring cliffs, towering redwoods and world-class surf breaks. Lesser known - but wildly important to the health of the ocean - is the world's entire population of southern (or California) sea otters. These dynamic animals are a keystone species without which the coastal ecosystem would collapse. Image credit: Michael Baird, Getty
