Have you ever seen a sea otter floating with something special tucked under its arm? Ben and Pia discovered the most amazing secret about these adorable ocean swimmers! Sea otters are like underwater rock collectors! They have special pockets under their arms where they keep their favorite rocks for months or even years. But these aren't just any rocks - otters are super picky and search until they find the perfect stone, just like when you look for the perfect crayon! Ben and Pia explore why otters get so attached to their special rocks and how they use them like tiny hammers to crack open yummy clams and mussels. It's like having a favorite spoon or pencil that just feels right! Did you know? Scientists have watched otters actually grooming their rocks - brushing them clean and checking them over like precious treasures! Some otters even pass down rock-using skills from mama to baby, like an ancient family tradition! Think about this! What's your favorite tool that makes life easier?
