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.

Sea otters have the densest fur of all mammals. They know how to use rocks to crack open delicious sea shells. They eat urchins which keeps kelp forests alive. I love big fat fluffy cute sea otters.

How do you explain otters to someone like that?

Otters are long in space and time Anonymous 21/09/20(Mon)22:09 No.1807 [Reply ] Otters have existed on earth for 30 million years. 30 000 000 years, or 30 000 millenia. That's 150 times longer than humans are known to have existed. If you count the early otterish mammals, then that's 150 million (150 000 000) years of otters, or 750 times the human existence.
In other words, if otters had existed for 1000 years, we would have been here for about 1.3 years.
Otters are pretty long.

Giant otters Anonymous 21/09/23(Thu)08:48 No.1829 [Reply ] I think the giant otter is a really cool otter. It is the largest AND the loudest of all otters, and it's also the largest mustelid.

Anonymous 22/01/23(Sun)13:40 No.2168 [Reply ] Marine otters are already extremely rare, but now an oil spill in Peru is further killing dozens of them. Also plankton, seals, fish, penguins, crabs, basically the whole ecosystem of a pristine natural region has been destroyed.
The Spanish oil company Repsol, which spilled 6000 barrels of oil, is being fined $36 million. Repsol has an annual revenue of $56 billion. That means it'll take them about 5½ hours to recover all the money from the fine.

Anyone here ever try this? Otters are very elusive animals so it's hard to actually get to see one in the wild. To find out whether otters exist in an area you have to rely on finding spraint, tracks or setting up camera traps.
