    Varying by age, how many hairs per square inch does a sea otter have?

    Question #97870. Asked by FISHFREAK7. (Jul 23 08 6:27 PM)

    		Sea otters have the densest fur of any mammal. Hair density varies dramatically with location on the body, ranging from about 26,000 to 165,000 hairs per square centimeter (170,000-1,062,000 per square inch). The highest density occurs on the forearms, sides, and rump; the lowest density is on the chest, legs, and feet. A single large male may have 800 million hair fibers covering its body.
