Animals That Made History

The Alaska Deal - The Sea Otter (1x1)

Air date: Feb 01, 2010

Swimming in the sun in the water, now and then a gourmet meal with fresh seafood and extensive grooming - these are the sea otters' favorite pastimes. Now strictly protected, it lives in small populations on the coasts of California and Alaska. But the peaceful idyll has a bloody past. Between 1750 and 1910, the sea otter is hunted to the point of extinction.
