Marine mammal with the densest fur in the animal kingdom (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

sea otter

(Other definitions for sea otter that I've seen before include "Marine mammal of the north Pacific" , "Creature" , "A fish eater" , "Marine animal of the North Pacific" , "Large marine mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
