It's the big day

Hi otterfriends, hope youre having a great day today. This weekend i will get to swim for the first time in the year, and im always happiest when i manage to get in the water. Heres hoping you get to find little or big joys in your life this month. Youre all wonderful, and you all deserve it!

>>4221
Hey that's great! It's fun to be in the water, and swimming is super good as otters know. I hope you had a good time.

hey otterfriends, was introduced to this website from my friend, so glad to have found an imageboard for otter lovers

hopefully this site becomes more popular, this is something I've been wanting for such a long time

>>4223
Welcome to otterchat! Happy to have more otter fans around. Enjoy your stay!

>>4222
Sadly I actually didnt get to swim because some stuff came up that needed to be dealt with, but swimming is super good so hopefully I can get to it soon.

Something we could watch 2 nite, what do you think? Idk if there's otters in it but given they live in the area maybe we'll get to see some along with all the other critters

>>4206
This looks neat! I'm not too well versed in Spanish wildlife so it would be cool to learn!

Hello Otterchat! It is ottercine sunday once again
There is so much AI slop when i try to find things these days, and one of the more promising docs i saw turned out to just be a reupload of another one hat we had already seen on the same channel but with different narration. Kinda disappointing.

I did manage to find this one, which is from mutual of omaha. I know we watched one of theirs before and it was neat so i hope this one is good too! https://youtu.be/xyMhoGXKCiw?si=utFcbq11zS31AXuO

Since the above is a little short, I tried to supplement with some other shorter ones too. This one is about otters in the chambal river https://youtu.be/9uzhysolnOc?si=LjRAypvbGSoHpRa_

and this is also a short one, and not narrated, but it does have subtitles, it's about otters in malacca! https://youtu.be/slYhREm0UpE?si=3EwC-YUSJ2uUlWxU

This one is not about otters, but rather about platypus. Might not be something to watch this time but could be fun if we ever want to branch out one month https://youtu.be/LJbSRiNk300?si=AvCtrBgLOlWaXz3X

>>4214
O hey, saw your post just now. You're right a lot of content these days is just...not of good quality, but otters always knew to be discerning

These look like some great finds of yours, as always, I'd love to watch something about platypus, fascinating animals. I'm looking forward to next time already.

Ottercine tomorrow!!!

whoaa why did it get so HOT n here

>>4209
I forgot to give commentary on their beautiful singing. It's beautiful.

Whoa look at him go! He deserved that fishy

>>1597
He hunted through all those fishies just to find the single most delicious one!

It only takes one otter to frighten a thousand fish.

Good idea lol.
I haven't visited here in about 2 years, but my usual chatting ground is... well you know.

Holy crap this captcha is difficult.

Otters are so cute I wish they were real.
These captchas are hard.

>>4198
Wb, good having you here

>>4199
Good news otters ARE real but we gotta keep em real iykwim
Is it too hard? Protip it's always 2 correct ones

>>4179
Adopting otters is a bad idea, because domestic environments are unable to provide the sorts of circumstances in which otters thrive. Otters need very specific situations to be happy, and houses just can't give those. If you love otters, support programs that keep them in the wild, where they're really happy!

What he said >>4193
And 1 minute is pretty long, you didn't have to look it up did you?

Simple as anon.

Hello! Welcome in, it's neat to see that people are still looking for boards in current year and I think you found a rather nice one personally. I hope you enjoy your stay

This is great news! The article also mentions an action plan for otters is in the works which would be great for conservation efforts I'm sure

Sometimes otters EAT the grass

Interesting relationship between otters and the grass
Sometimes they'll bask in it, sometimes they'll play with it, and sometimes, they'll bite it
It feels like a metaphor for love

Is that real?

ermm that's not an otter

Off the top of my head

• wydra in polish and other slavic languages
• sudal in korean
• kawauso in japanese
• loutre in french
• lontra in italiano
• tha'leb el ma` in arabic
• saukko in finish
• su samuru in Turkish
• kunduz in kazakh and some central asian languages (also means beaver)
• nutria in spanish
• rai ca in vietnamese (pronounced sai ta)
• fisi maji in (pretty sure it was) swahili

Forgot memerang in Malay and berang-berang in Indonesian

>>4135
This sounds cool, I would also be interested in seeing the sheet if anyone has it

It's always sad when an otter passes away but they had lived a long time and at least they didnt suffer in the end. He certainly was the cool uncle, such an ambassador, he will be missed.

>>4131
Im game, as always, though if youd rather hang with your people thats a ok too. It will be a happy new year regardless

>>4132
Sure, I'll keep you posted. I'm still not even really sure how this new year's event works in Party Animals. If you're the person on my friends list I can probably even invite you if I do end up in someone else's custom game and they're fine with it. You can message people on your friends list, I'm pretty sure.

I haven't received a reply from the German streamer so I'll just go and make the lobby at 23:00 CET. I hope you'll join.

Who can I add? I'm on the free version.

You can add me. My friend ID is JHK4DD.

Why would we do that?

>>3894
not*, not now. Ug, I'm sure an otter would be a better typist than me.

>>3892
Go on...

>>3906

>>3889
Lol, the site was broken during that and everyone was getting autobanned, it would have been nice to see one or two otters on the catalog though, you guys are always welcome
We should have the site up and running like normal in a few days

I struck me how I thought ASCO's range included Japan, but when I check the map they aren't even close. They just seem to be so popular over there.
Anyways, is there a manga where otters are featured prominently?

>>3974
Never forget the Japanese otter..

So sad they went extinct, maybe as cloning technology progresses there might be hope to restore the species if there are enough DNA samples left

Today I learned that final fantasy 14 has a cute little otter pet you can summon to follow you around. I didn't really vibe with FF14 but a friend of mine says she might try it just for the chance to have an otter so I may wind up joining her.

MFW Otterchat. You're all wonderful

One of the otters at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park looks like this.

>>3898
That's a good lookin otter right there!

Autumn is officially here.

So we have leaves on heads, but what about flowers below noses? Could be worth additional research.

>>4104
Interesting proposal. I only have this specimen, but the flower is slightly above the nose. Do you have some more examples?

>>4110
I found this one! Also a lot of AI art and some art I can't tell is AI or not.

>>4111
It is getting harder to find real otter photos...

They've got two new young otters at the sanctuary! Hansel and Gretel were taken in as orphaned cubs a couple of weeks ago. Aren't they the cutest pair of otts you ever did see?

>>3161
Aww, they're so cute! I'm sure they're gonna be getting the best care with the UKWOT

More UKWOT news, a kind soul has donated land so they will have more space to care for otters. It'll take a few years to have it up to full speed, but it looks like it will more than double the amount of enclosures they have which is fantastic https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g5p4yngzno

>>4105
That's wonderful news! Especially great to hear they won't have to turn any otters away anymore.

>>4106
Exactly! I was surprised to hear about them in the news and very happy that it was good news to be shared :)

>>3459
Does a pile of all piles contain itself?

What if you look down and instead of the floor, it's otters?

>>4098
If the floor was otters i would be scared to step anywhere. I guess I would have to call in sick to work and hang with the otts.

>>4101
Oh, I imagine they'd carry you wherever you wanna go. Floating on a cloud of otters...

>>4102
Hmm, good point. though id feel bad making them carry me anywhere. maybe we could take turns, they carry me for a while, i carry them for a while. Then in the end we celebrate a day well lived with fish.
