Otters

We're Michelle and Josue, and we're animal lovers who are always on the lookout to learn more about our furry friends. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to visit some of the otters and after some observation, we wondered if captive otters behave differently from wild ones. Our question: Do otters groom more in captivity or in the wilderness?

How would you investigate this question?
Observing otters at a zoo or aquarium is fairly simple... how will you observe wild otters? Develop a plan for find and observing wild otters safely without scaring them. Also, what other observations about otters should you make? How will you display the results of your findings? Describe your investigation in your notebook and discuss it with your teacher, or go to Otters to learn more about Michelle and Josue's investigation.
