由于其脆弱性，它在许多地区被灭绝，近年来已作为濒危物种得到全面保护（艾伦1942;穆瑞1959）。幸运的是，通过保护和成功移植程序的发展，海獭已经在许多地方牢固地建立起来，使该物种不再处于危险之中（Kenyon 1969）。最近，它作为阿姆奇特卡岛上的一个突出动物区系元素而受到关注，这导致了对其生态学和自然历史的进一步了解（艾伦1942; Murie 1959）。海獭是鼬科中最大的，只有亚马逊河水獭（Pteronura brasiliensis）能与之匹敌，而亚马逊河水獭本身也面临灭绝的威胁。在鼬科中，它是唯一真正的海洋形式，因此最适合水生生物。它也引起了人们的注意，因为它是为数不多的“使用工具”的动物之一，
and its vulnerability it was exterminated in many areas, and in recent years has been afforded complete protection as an endangered species (Allen 1942; Murie 1959). Fortunately, through protection and the development of successful transplanting procedures, the sea otter has become firmly established in many locations so that the species is no longer in danger (Kenyon 1969). Recently it has been an object of attention as a prominent faunal element on Amchitka Island, and this has led to further information on its ecology and natural history (Allen 1942; Murie 1959). The sea otter is the largest of the Mustelidae, being rivaled only by the giant Amazonian otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), itself threatened with extinction. Among the Mustelidae it is the only truly marine form and as such the most adapted for aquatic life. It has also attracted attention as one of the few "tool-using" ani-
