    Sea Otter Metabolics and Thermoregulation Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris) have always intrigued me because they are one of the most recent additions to the marine environment having only been fully aquatic for about 1-3 million years‚ but what really peaked my interest was the fact that they maintain homeostasis as far north as Alaska without blubber in 13-17 degree water‚ and that the metabolic rate that they would have to have must be enormous so I decided to look into what it takes to keep an

However‚ there are small links that suggest the ’Sea ’ is being used metaphorically. I think that the summary of

    Drama Objective Review: I really enjoyed reading Riders to the Sea. Although it was not always very clear and was slightly confusing it always kept me interested and I couldn’t keep my eyes of the page. I loved the vocabulary that they used in the early 1900s. I thought that it seemed very classy and intelligent. I love the way John Millington Synge described how Maurya (the old woman) lost all of her sons to the sea. He uses very brief and to the point explanations of how Maurya’s sons
