### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating book not only about sea otters, but ecology of ocean animals
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2022*

McLeish has my amazed admiration for his assiduous tracking down of dozens of marine biologists up and down the Pacific coast from Alaska to central California, who take him on their boats and into their research facilities to study, protect, and rehabilitate this delightful and rugged animal.  His book has a strong "you are there" orientation therefore, and I learned so much about the efforts of marine researchers in protecting sea otters.  McLeish is also careful to be sensitive to the people involved in fishing for the very creatures such as clams and abalone that sea otters eat voraciously, for their livelihoods, especially in Alaska,  can conflict with the priorities of conservationists.

    "the champions of cute"
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2020*

Let me first start off by saying that I truly enjoyed this book from front to back. In the thirteen chapters each depicting a different pacific coastal area that was affected by sea otters and that housed a great rise and decline of these adorable marine animals McLeish tells of the species and his experiences with them in great detail. The author does a great job of describing the importance of sea otters to the marine ecosystems and how humans intertwine with that relationship. While I would recommend this book to anyone, those who are specifically interested in ecology, marine ecosystems, or wildlife studies would especially enjoy it as it gives example after example of how we need to be treating our earth and our wildlife and what can happen if we turn a blind eye and don’t do our proper research. While some parts were a bit slow for the average reader, McLeish tells great stories from his own experiences and those of who he is acquainted (other scientists) that help you understand at a much greater depth the story of the species and the controversial past and present they hold.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEA OTTERS, PLUS 50%
  

*by W***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2022*

Truly informative, comprehensive account of West Coast sea otters, their lives, habits, ranges, CUTE-ness, not-so-cuteness, their use of tools, role in littoral kelpish (mostly) ecosystems, boost to eco-tourism, threat to various fisheries, mating maneuvers, their accidental predators, their prey, and problematic status as endangered marine mammalian species, even their parasites and diseases. Nicely written, but by the end I felt like I was striking the same shell with the same rock four-too-many times. I also wanted very much to see some in person.
