Most Sea Otters in Aquariums or Zoos are rescued and non-releasable animals meaning that they were usually found alone at a young age when they are still dependent on their mothers to survive. A question asked quite often is what happened to their mothers? This study explores a new cause of Sea Otter mortality that is particularly interesting. 

In California, scientists are finding a dramatic increase of Sea Otter mortality due to...shark bites! They have found that the proportion of stranded Sea Otters with shark bites has increased since 2003, and that White Shark bites account for 50% of mortality. Scientists have found that there is a seasonal trend for these shark bites (usually late summer and fall) but that time period is increasing. There is the hypothesis that increased numbers of White Sharks and changes in their distribution and behavior could have caused these trends, aka more sharks are being found in coastal waters where marine mammals live. 

This trend is something that can also be linked to warming of the oceans; as the temperature rises how will that affect the natural range of different animals? How can we make changes to prevent that from happening?

We have developed shoreline properties, Just like what we did to the native Americans, and now natural habitats that were safe for marine mammals from natural predators!
