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.

>>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.

ThunderOtts Are Go!!!

Weesels are friends. Don't know why anyone would portray them as evil.

>>1517
Weasels are just dry otters

>>1520 Too dry. Can you really trust a dry animal?

>>1517 Don't put a gun so close to a weasel, it's dangerous.

>>1517
Depends on the weasel.
Any tiny creature that can rip out the throat of its enemies and scare off predators many times its size is one you would probably prefer to have as an ally, no?
The question is, can the weasel you've cornered be trusted?
Only time will tell.

What do you mean? Otters flourish in all seasons. They like Autumn because they can play with leaves. And use them as fancy hats.

>>1504
Otters KNOW there are greater seasons and cycles and THIS IS ONE
Any otter could tell you: this is not a time for fallen leaves.
This is a time to SPLASH something new into existence and SPRING into a news cycle.

>>1475
The answer to that is most certainly not.
Otters see a threat to their environment, they take it out.
Apex predators don't tolerate no upstart competition.

>>1479
Are they really a threat though? That was the original question

>>1480
Sometimes the original question is not the real question.
Regardless, the reality is this:
To the extent that the Taliban are nice to their otters, the Taliban will continue to exist. To the extent that they are not nice to otters, they will cease to exist. The choice is theirs.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

>>1485
Survival of the ottest

Omg this is the BEST!!!

>>1490
yeah it's cool! try it yourself :)

What do sea otters do on the beach?

>>1458
Based on the pic I'd say, boogie.

>>1458
They step, they slip, they stir, they sit.

>>1019
>>1021
Is it possible to go back and look at an archived version of the stream?

>>1027 Uhh, I don't believe that exists.

>>1028
Exactly, so I don’t think that you could go back and look at the documentaries posted in the chat . Right?

>>1027 >>1028 >>1030
I guess you can never step in the same Ottercine twice.
We'll just have to do it all over again.

>>1002 Yep. I watch otter movies for the plot.

You still gotta love their chubby round faces.

>>130
Definitely. They are the most widespread otter species for a reason.

>>177
Greatest empire in history.

Eurasian otters are lone otters, they have to be strong in their own. Meanwhile Asian Small Clawed Otters live in groups and so they can rely on each other more.

>>869
Good old Strength in Numbers.

>>1247
All otts are dangerous if you make them angry.
Hot tip: don't make an otter angry!

>>1229

>>1190 Yep, looks like otters to me.

>>1190
I can say with 70% certainty that those are indeed otters, though one of them looks something like soup

>>1190
Oh, those ones are quite rare actually. Soup otters. Most otters prefer wild habitats, but soup otters prefer to play and hunt in soup, rather than rivers. A bit like glamping, maybe?

>>1206 So instead of hunting in the water, they simply eat the water?

Brilliant.

>>1211
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Otters are the wisest hunters.

>>612
Big Otts snuggling Big Otts
Big Otts snuggling Little Otts
Little Otts snuggling Little Otts
All of these are OK.

Kisses!

There's no love like an otter for an otter.

>>593

>As in, how do I predict the future using the power of otters, or how do I predict where otters will be so that I can be around them?

I find the two faculties to be related. The more in tune you are with the otter, the more you will sense its presence, and also the more you will unlock its advanced understanding of reality, and so gain glimpses into the future. That's how it's always worked for me, anyway.

>>595 The closer the better.
Full body snuggles would ensure max profetability, I imagine.

>>609 Otter knows not to fall for clairvoyant scams. That's how Otter has so much money.

>>609

>Full body snuggles would ensure max profetability, I imagine.

But otters don't always like being touched. In fact for them it's better to keep a distance.

>>693 Well, it entirely depends on the relationship between the otter and the wannabe snuggler, doesn't it?
If there's one thing this image board proves, it's how happy otters look when they're getting cuddly with their otter-friends.
Obviously, as extremely discerning creatures, otters do not permit themselves to be touched by just anyone.

Train otters to catch you fish, then sell it.

>>525 The three Rs of recycling! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Reduce your consumption of disposable items (at least to a degree)
Reuse anything you can. plastic bread bags for examples.
and recycle anything you can. (of course)
Selfish acts, but good acts. And the most I can do for now.

>There's a big ol list on the home page

Oh! I didn't see it! Thanks anon!

>>527 Very good tips otteranon. Let's hope it will make a bit less of our trash end up in Otterland.

Otterchan itself helps otters. Because people come here not knowing about otters, and after they come here, they know about otters. We transmit otter knowledge.

>>527
Love the pic!

>>868
This site has found its purpose in the world.

>Captcha: paw

fast ott

>>463
This is the case except in quantum otters which can have multiple states at the same time.

>>464 I do suppose quantum physics can explain otters very well

>>464
Thats when it gets really good

>>465
It was only when I took a deep dive into Quantum physics that I truly began to understand otters and what makes them so special.

>>478
Please share your discoveries with us otter anon.

>>1032 Do you have a source for your claim?

>>1033 ı'm just joking kek

If otters do that, does that mean it's actually a cool and fun thing to do?

Of course they don't rape their own babies! That would be terrible. They only rape the babies of other species.

>>1032 A smear campaign against otters on their very own chan? Surely not. Careful, anon. Otters may be passionate about free speech, but cross that RED line and find out what 'apex predator' really means.

>>982
Well, you have to be able to catch those big fish somehow!

>>987
Otters are filter feeders now?

>>983
That is so cute! Great collection.
Between Ottercine 2021 and those otter plushies, this is my best World Otter Day yet!
Thanks for sharing it, Otternons.

>>986
Sure. Here's what I put together last year.

And this one is from 2019. It seems like I forgot in 2018 though. I also made anime otter collages, see >>991 for 2017 and >>992 for 2019.

>>836
Magnificence, opulence, grandeur, nobility, and all that is good in the world. Or, more simply, a friend, assuming, of course, that you are judged worthy.

Otters are life. No creature is as alive as an otter.

>>792
From my understanding, it differes greatly between species of otters. Sea otters are able to hold their breath for 4-5 minutes, and can reach a maximum depth of roughly 300 feet, with the deepest dive ever recorded being 318 feet. However, the average dive is under a minute long and the average depth is roughly 60 feet, which would imply that depths greater than 60ish feet would be somewhat uncomfortable or impractical for otters to undertake regularly and only really happen when necessary.

River otters, on the other hand, cannot go nearly as deep or for nearly as long, bottoming out at around a maximum depth of 60 feet per dive. However, they can swim at speeds of up to 7 mph, whereas sea otters usually don't go too much faster than 5-6. River otters can also swim for a quarter of a mile underwater before needing to come up for air, and can hold their breath for around 4 minutes comfortably, with the maximum recorded time sitting at roughly 8 minutes before needing to come up for air.

Looking back, that was a bit more information than you initially asked for, but extra information on otters never hurt anybody!

>>822

>extra information on otters never hurt anybody!

Fact!

>>822
This post was just otters swimming thru your eyes and into your brain! Thanks otteranon!

>>834
I aim to please. Glad you liked it!

>>750 now there's a romp of otters.

>>750
>>759
Synchronised otting.

>>763 When an otter discovers something fun other otters are bound to join in.

>>322

>If I am the only one that saw the otter, does it make that otter siting less real?

It is immaterial whether one is aware of the otter or not, because it can be said with certainty that in any case, the otter is aware of itself. The otter knows where it is at all times. Because the fact of the otter is established already within the otter's consciousness itself, otter is noticeably present in objective reality.
Further, even if otter is not noticed directly, one can still discern the effects of otter upon an area. This includes finding otter tracks which shows that an area has been affected by an otter.

>>759
Now that's what I call a Romp!

>>550
Looks like a solid board. I’m a bit confused on the name though? Why not /coon/ or something like that?

>>553 procyonidae

>can barely post on anon.cafe anymore

Whew, actually glad we got out of there.

An otter is more than the sum of its parts because its individual parts are not alive while the otter is, it is the assembly to a whole being that makes it alive.

The individual parts of the otter must by necessity resemble the characteristics of the otter as a whole, and the characteristics of the otter must be reflected in its individual parts, because it is this integrity that makes the otter what it is.

Every part of the otter must follow and adhere to the essential otter-ness so that the total sum of the parts is an otter. This essential characteristic is "otteriness". If a part of an otter is not ottery then it is foreign, as with things such as parasites and worms which can be found in wild otters, these may be part of the otter's body but they are not ottery hence foreign and destructive.

Imagine this: An otter with the tail of a fox. Is the otter still an otter? The tail of an otter makes up part of the otter's essence while at the same time the otter's otteriness (i.e. its state of being, its character) is reflected in the otter's tail.

If an otter had a tail of a fox, not only would its ability to swim be diminished (one of the key characteristics of an otter), but aesthetically it would no longer truly resemble an otter.

There is real wisdom here.

Just wanna post more of these
