GIVING BRAINLIEST

Read the excerpts from the two articles on sea otters.

Article A

Sea otters are one of few tool-using mammals. They enjoy a diet of seafood, including sea urchins, mussels, clams, sea snails, and crabs. Sea otters will use rocks to break open their food. The rock acts as an anvil to crack open the shell. After diving down to find their food, sea otters hold the shells against their stomachs as they break them open. Sea otters have pouches of loose skin under each of their forelegs. This is where they keep their rock tool while not feeding. Sea otters are quite smart and will use other objects to help them open the shells of their prey. These include parts of the shell itself, driftwood, man-made objects, or even another shellfish. The use of seaweed as an anchor is another example of the sea otter using tools in its daily life.

Article B

Sea otters are threatened by other animals in the water and on land. Killer whales are one of the sea otter's main predators now that the seal and sea lion populations are declining. Sharks, sea lions, and eagles also pluck sea otters from the water while bears and coyotes will hunt them on land. Sea otters use their intelligence to outsmart some of their predators. They also use their sharp teeth to protect themselves.
