What mammal has the densest fur?
a. Polar Bear
b. Luck Dragon
c. Platypus
d. Sea Otter
The answer is D, Sea Otter!
The smallest of marine mammals, sea otters have up to one million hairs per square inch on their backs; In the head of an average male with a hair bearing area of approximately 80 square inch area, the density is approximately 1,250 hairs per square inch (rounded)...so sea otter fur is about 800 times as dense as an average human's!
