An otter eats 30 urchins, 5 mussels, and 2 crabs in one day.
A. How many kilocalories does the otter get from this diet?
B. If the otter weighs 16 kilograms and needs 250 kilocalories/kg of body weight per day, can they survive off of this hunt?
A. 4315 kilocalories
B. Yes, because 16kg x 250 kilocalories gives you 4,000 kilocalories which is less than the 4315 kilocalories from their diet.
