Sea Otter Cleaning

Moss Landing, CA: A sea otter meticulously cleans itself from head to toe.  Sea otters constantly clean themselves to inject air into their fur which helps to keep them afloat.  This sea otter spent a lot of time cleaning its head.  It was rubbing quite vigorously.  A some point, it looked liked it was trying to rearrange his face!  Its fur looked very malleable.  Throughout the cleaning the process, the sea otter would take breaks and go back to sleep.  After a couple of minutes, it would wake up and start cleaning again.
