Sea otters in different regions will give birth during different seasons of the year: “Southern Sea Otters in California give birth in the winter from around January to about March. On the other extreme, the Alaskan Sea Otter will give birth in the summer, when the water is milder” (http://www.otternet.com/species/seaotter.htm). A female sea otter only obtains enough resources for one pup; in the case of a twin being birthed, the mother is only capable of raising one. Pups rely on their mother for only about eight months, then they venture off on their own. Males will often find other parties of male sea otters in order to find a mate. Then the cycle of reproduction starts again. This process is violent and often painful for the female. After the male is finished, he will be out of the female’s life for good; he will play no part in the pup’s…
