Do otters bond for life?
Yuliya22 [10]

Otter attacks on humans are rare. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy after an animal bite is indicated for clinically significant injuries and a weakened immune response. '

The otter's main barrier against heat loss is an airtight barrier. The otter vigorously rubs its paws together to seal the air next to its skin. It can also breathe air through its fur. Underwater, they look silver because of the oxygen in Turkey. Sea otters swim on their backs when they sleep.

They can wrap themselves in seaweed or hold each other's hands  while they sleep to stay there and float out to sea. Sea otters have three main strategies  to escape from predators: run, hide in the kelp where they live, or  surface. They can also use their powerful teeth when they encounter other sea otters.

Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.
