No, that's just what the otters want you to believe! It's them, they're raising the water levels on purp-

Nothing to see here citizen, move along.

There are so many floods going on right now. What's happening? And are the otters alright?

>>1423
Otters always rise to the surface once the storm has abated. Can't flood an Otter out.

>>1424
What about the holts with all their babies in them? Those are gonna get flooded and all the little otter babies would drown. Otters need water and dry land.

>>1425
I'm sure momma is gonna protect her cubs. Animals have a sense like that.

> 22 pups

Quite the busy otter.

We're bigger on the inside.

So cute

>>1195 anon, did you read the post?

"An otter's cub was captured and confined in the stableyard of a house near a river where the mother had been hunted during the day. At night, in company with her other cub, she came to the yard and tried to liberate the little captive, but without success. At dawn she withdrew to the river, where she was again hunted, but after several hours’ pursuit managed to escape. Nothing daunted, she returned at nightfall to the yard and once more endeavoured to free her cub, but with no better result than before. It is pleasant to read that after such heroic conduct on the part of the poor beast, the hunter's heart softened and the whelp restored."

I'm fine as long as otters are fine.

At least we have virtual otters.

Still holding up okay, just gotta keep on keeping on.

>>860
Hope you feel better otternon.

Lonely time still isn't over...

>>1906

>>1912

>139,000+ supporters

But my lord, there is no such force!

>>1912
>>1926
A vigorous force of determined people around the globe. This is our time.

Interesting perspective

Silly otter! What could be so special inside that stump?

>>1903
He's not gonna tell you.

>>1900
Anteater if you squint

>>1015 The otter in the sea knows nothing of a well.

Check out this guy

>>1315 perfect balancing.

Otters, they're swimming.

Thief on the run!

>>1316
Zen...

>>1263
No such thing as too much otters. The more otters the better is what I say!

>>1430 The more, the otter.

>>1435
The otterier, the merrier.

Baby otters drinking milk, the right way.

>>1889
Momma otter's milk makes a happy baby otter.

>>1851 whoa just got this post on time to put it in the background while I work. Thanks otternon =w=

>>1851
Bit sad I missed all the otterfun.

>>1867
We should do it again soon.

The sea otter week is over... We can go back to napping again.

>>1878
Have a nap, have a crab.

>>1827
Is that what ottersong sounds like when it's slowed down to ottertime? Who knew otters could bring the bass like that. They must have hidden depths.

Otters: Small heads, big mouths.

>>1833
Like many humans.

>>1833
The smaller the head, the bigger the mouth in proportion.

>>1833 This is why they can AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA so well.

Otters are more buoyant.

Human's faces are longer

Otters sound better

Ain't that the truth!

Otters are cuter and cooler. They know what the purpose of the life is, while we wander aimlessly.

Hey mate, what's happening? It's binturong since I last saw you!

>>932
I feel like Sea Otters as a species would be the type of otters that would just make the worst puns, but everyone would still laugh at their jokes.

>>935
Funny otters make you laugh always

>>893 Otties are always friends.

I really like binturongs. I don't know what it is about them, somehow they are just hypnotizing...

Bump, I love reading about otters. Especially when I'm spending time away from them, it helps me remember them. Would be nice if otteranons could suggest some good otter books.

Thanks for sharing these from good ol' 8chan. will look at em soon

"The Life Story of an Otter" by J.C. Tregarthen (1909). Thought to be the book that inspired Tarka.

>>1552
Otters have taste.

I glad soup otters' numbers have been recovering.

>>1762
As with other otter species, it's all about habitat. The more soup for them to live in, the more soup otters.
Make soup, not war!

This is getting me in the mood for some soup

>>1763 What kinds of soup do soup otters like?

>>127
They kinda look like small giant otters, with the spotted necks and everything.

The otter with the spotted neck.

>the case of an n+1-otter occupying an n-otter space

I'm pretty sure that's what happened. It would explain a lot. I think that's why the otter gets headaches when it gets stretchy. There just isnt enough otter space yet to accommodate it. It has to generate new otter space at the +1 frequnsee as it stretches, or things get too crunchy.

>>432
I like this topic. Is there an odd shape that would benefit an otter in our world? A spherical otter would have an easier time in barren landscape and possibly in rivers with high currents, with downsides like a harder times to navigate in lush areas, but is there a shape that will just benefit it with no downsides in our world?

Is the current otter shape the best otter shape in our world after all?

>>466
Otters are perfectly shaped just as they are.

>>466
I have to agree with >>467

>Otters are perfectly shaped just as they are.

In any dimension or realm, the Otter will be conformed to the Perfect Shape for that Sphere of Reality. In our 3D world, the 3D Otter represents the perfect fluidity of God-in-Motion as river-dwelling apex carnivore/Olympic cuddler.
Howeevr, if viewed in quantum space, the Otter will indeed be a very different shape: it will conform itself into the most perfect expression of God-in-Motion for that dimension.
Thus, the Otter is always perfectly adapted for maximum beuaty according to its local environment.

You get smartier just reading this thread

Good stuff. The world can always use more avenues to view otters

>>1628

>light particles going into your eyes that have been reflected by an otter

It feels so good...

>>1553
I would like it if I liked twitch. But I don't. I like the discord tho.

>>1632
Me tooooo.
Wish it had a live audio chat with the otts tho.
Bet they make cute noises and great asmr.

I'm still trying to recognize and guess who is who.

Actually! Nevermind! They added a plugin thingy that show badges of the otters and their info when you hover over one. That's so cool!

>>1578
That too ;)

>>1578
What does it mean to "get" an otter? To get as in to understand?

>>1610
Great q, otternon.
Can anyone truly understand an Otter?
Otters remain hopeful, but still lack concrete evidence.

>>1610
There's no way to physically "get" an otter, because even if you capture it, its spirit will remain free.

>>1664
This truly is the hope of the world.

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.

>>1351
What could that be? Nothing makes it past an otters fur.

>>1310
>>1352
Ticks or other parasites. Wild otters are full of them.

>>1592
Someone's gotta debug those otts then.
The whole lotta them.

>>1595
Otters are resilient. Theyre used to it.

>>1627
Resilient mammals.

You sure he's not about to destroy something?

>>1616
Oh, that's definitely a DESTROY shot.
But otters know, as beavers do, that often to build something of true value, one must begin by destroying what CURRENT ly exists.

>>1617
To build dams you need to break trees.

>>1618
And to break dams, you need to do nothing.

>>1619
There's a song about that.

>>670 An otter is a machine that turns fish into fun

>>802
Otters really are a miracle of nature!

>>806
The finest machine in the world as far as I'm concerned.

>>803
When otter sees a food, it will grab it with its mouth and then destroy it into pieces.

>>1071
The food then gets turned into otter power so the otter can get more food.

>>1557

>otter power
