The Endangered Sea OtterFreview the words in exercise A before reading the

iotlowing selection. Then complete the exercises

,'below.

iin tne mid-1800s, the fur trade was thriving. Hunters

i¡p and down the West Coast were trapping and

tåOing furs for goods. Demand for precious furs was

high. Unfortunately, the sea otter was one of the

an-imals prized for its pelt. Hunters traveled from

Alaska to Southern California to capture them. As a

result, the playful sea otters were hunted almost to

extinction by the late 1800s' Since then, the

government has taken an interest in sea otters and

ñas placed a ban on the hunting of these creatures.

Although there are still hunters who illegally poach

these animals for their fur, the population of sea otters

off the coast of California is increasing'
