VIII. Read every passage below and answer the following questions! (40 points)

line Sea otters dwell in the North Pacific. They are the largest of mustelids, a group
which also includes freshwater otters, weasels, and badgers. They are four to five feet long,
and most weight from 60 to 85 pounds. Larger males may weigh 100 pounds or more.
Unlike most marine mammals, such as seals or dolphins, sea otters lack a layer of
5 blubbers, and therefore have to eat up to 30% of their body weight a day in clams, crabs,
fish, octopus, squids, and other delicacies to maintain body heat. Their voracious appetites
do not create food shortages. Though, because they are picky eaters, each animal
preferring only a few food types. Thus no single type of food source is exhausted. Sea
otters play an important environmental role by protecting forests of seaweed called kelp,
10 which provide shelter and nutrients for many species. Certain sea otters feast on
invertebrates like sea urchins and abalones that destroy kelp.
Sea otters eat and sleep while floating on their backs, often on masses of kelp.
They seldom come on shore. See otters keep warm by means of their luxuriant double-
layered fur, the densest among animals. The soft outer fur forms a protective cover that
15 keeps the fine underfur dry. One square inch of underfur contains up 1 million hairs.
Unfortunately, this essential feature almost led to their extinction, as commercial fur
hunters drastically reduced their numbers.
Under government protection, the sea otter population has recovered. While
elated by the otters return, scientists are concerned about the California sea otter
20 population growth of 5% a year, lagging behind the 18% a year rate among Alaska otters.
