Sea Otter (Kalan)
One of the smallest marine mammals, this sea otter inhabits Kamchatka and the Commander Islands. The kalan also belongs to those limited species that are capable of using tools. It is listed in the Russian Federation's Red Data Book. Kalans play a very important role in the marine and coastal ecosystems as they control the numbers of sea urchins. The number of kalans in Russia is about 15,000; of those, more than 5,000 inhabit the Commander Islands.
The Commander Islands Reserve hosts the biggest in Russia population of these animals, and its monitoring is therefore of special importance.
