Swimming otters Anonymous 21/03/25(Thu)20:32 No.531 [Reply ] I love the way otters heads stick out of the water when they swim. Imagine seeing such a sight in the wild. Otters are perfectly crafted to swim. Their eyes, ears and nose are perfectly lined up so they can keep a low profile in the water whil still being able to breathe.

Anonymous 22/12/04(Sun)01:10 No.3174 [Reply ] Why do otters kind of look like seals sometimes? Not fully so but still. By the way, do you guys think otters resemble any other animals, at least in like one otter pic from 2002 or something at least? Would be cool to know

>Why do otters kind of look like seals sometimes? More like seals look like otters!
But in all actuality, I think that it's because they're both marine animals, and thus are adapted to move best in those types of environments

Old Otter message board Anonymous 22/05/31(Tue)23:10 No.2604 [Reply ] I found this old otter message board that lived from 1998 to the early 2000s, it's pretty interesting to click throughhttps://web.archive.org/web/20000816162540/http://www.otternet.com/wwwboard/wwwboard.html
Looks like a board for Otters is an idea almost as old as the internet itself

Otter robotics Anonymous 22/02/14(Mon)16:59 No.2238 [Reply ] Otterbots have been used before to make close up recordings of sea otters. What other uses could otterbots have? Industry, research, espionage or military purposes perhaps? An amphibious four legged robot would seem like a very useful thing, and otters are of course the perfect template.
Here is a pretty cool example: http://edge.rit.edu/edge/P18229/public/Home
>The goal of this project is to design an amphibious robot which can mimic the movements of otters both in and out of water. The final product should be able to swim at the surface of water, walk on land, and transition between land and water. The expected result is a functional prototype with systems that can ultimately be used in other devices for military, investigation, and research purposes in the future.

RIP Bishan Mum Anonymous 22/12/16(Fri)07:12 No.3291 [Reply ] After a long and fulfilling life, Bishan Mum passed away peacefully last night. Otter watchers noticed her deteriorating condition in the past week, as she distanced herself from her family to spend her last days alone. Yesterday, she chose a holt as her resting place, which she never came back out. Bishan Mum will be remembered, as will Bishan Dad, who passed a few years ago. They were among the most famous and inspiring otters of our time.

Japanese Otter keepers Doing Harm Anonymous 22/12/16(Fri)07:52 No.3292 [Reply ] I want to get your opinions on Japanese Asian Short Clawed Otter YouTubers such at Kotaro, Aty, Loutre etc.
Seeing these cute, carefully edited videos showing otters looking like perfect pets has me worried about the impact on the already endangered species. Whether they're in some Osaka café or at a scenic river, these videos are only encouraging more pet owners and poachers.
I don't care about how many thousands of people enjoy their videos, what matters is that wild otters are left alone.
P.S. I love the Captcha :)
