Sea Otters [Enhydra lutris] - Elkhorn Slough, California
Sea Otters are the heaviest members of the weasel family and can reach up to 100 pounds. They can be easily observed in the waters of Elkhorn Slough and are often seen there in groups in the early morning hours. They are one of the few mammals that use tools. They will often find a rock while foraging the seafloor and use it to help open their meal, which is usually a sea urchin, mollusk or a crustacean of some sort.

How archival are Metal Prints?
Images printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Like any fine art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sunlight or high outdoor temperatures. MetalPrints have an additional benefit over giclee or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard scratch resistant coating. The archival value of a print should be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by U.V. light and ozone exposure, but also to moisture and surface damage. When these factors are brought into the equation, MetalPrints are an excellent way to preserve an image.
