Weight: largest--sea otter Enhydra lutris, males up to 95 pounds
(43 kilograms);


McHenry calculated an estimated weight of 31.7 kg. for OH 8. There are
many small examples for early Homo.
Clearly some giant otters larger than some early Homo.

body size." In Journal of Human Evolution, vol. 27, pp. 77-87.
