Sea Otter Took a DNA Test, Turns Out She's 100% a Potato #shorts

This sea otter took a DNA test. Turns out, she's 100% a potato. Sea otters, like Libby hear, often spend their entire entire lives in the ocean and sleep while floating on their back. In order to conserve heat, they'll keep their paws and flippers out of the water. Because while they have the densest fur coat in the animal kingdom, their fur is thinner on their flippers and paws.

Libby was less than 24 hours old when she was found alone after becoming separated from her mother. The little sea otter pup was rescued and rehabilitated at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but due to her very young age, and lack of survival skills, she was deemed non-releasable by the NOAA and the Department of Fish & Wildlife. She has thrived under human care and already outlived the average life expectancy of wild otters.
