Hello community, I would like to inform you that there is a conservation project in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil. Known as Project Lontra Viva. We have been active since 2011 in favor of the conservation of Lontra longicaudis. The founder and responsible for the project and research is a member of the IUCN/SSC Otter Specialist Group, Izabela Laurentino, with the support of UFRN and Instituto Biodiversidade (@ibio). For more information contact via IG @projetolontraviva or email: Projetolontraviva@gmail.com.

Have you guys got a website?
In South America we have four species, however in RN there is only a record of the Neotropical Otter, so conservation work is carried out only with this species. More information: www.projetolontraviva.org
Link isn't working for me :(
Yes, that works! Thank you

This otter has been running from the cops ever since she got famous for stealing some surfboards. Looks like she might actually get away with it.>The 5-year-old female otter, known officially as otter 841, has been deemed a public safety risk by state and federal wildlife officials because of her "unusually aggressive" behavior along the Santa Cruz coast. As a result, wildlife officials and Monterey Bay Aquarium staff are attempting to capture and rehome the otter to an aquarium or zoo, according to a joint news release. But support for a live-and-let-live approach is growing with each unsuccessful attempt.
Go 841! Don't let the man keep you down, stick and move!

Woohoo!
May she continue her surfing days for years to come.
>But support for a live-and-let-live approach is growing with each unsuccessful attempt.Any updates on if this is going anywhere? I know she's getting support from the general public, but I think that Fish and Game might still be trying to hunt her down
I checked the news and I don't see any updates on this so I believe she's at large, but I also assume they're still trying to bring her in. It has been a fun story to follow, it reminds me of when we learned about bank robbers in school who were cheered by the public.

And this one was done before I got there, but I was allowed to have it anyway. I think it is by an otter named Uno
Ah whoops, this was supposed to be in the general thread. Must've accidentally posted in on its own
That's alright it deserves its own thread anyway!
I don't believe in the whole "everything in one thread" thing tbh. This totally should be a thread, just like the sea otter stealing surfboards story. And should just be a place to say hi
You know, you're absolutely right. I just posted in the general thread because I didn't know if this was a big enough deal to make its own thread, but now I wish that I had put it all in its own place from the start. Oh well, learning experience for next time.
S'alright, we all had enjoyed it regardlessyou live and you learn, as otters do

An irrational fear of otters. Apparently, it's real.

Is it true? Can otters be scary?

I can understand why someone might find otters scary. The pitch black eyes, the sharp fangs, and the way they prey at night... Little river monsters... Brr...(still love them though)

I didn't know either. Well that explains this picture that I have.

I recently started playing Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin and there's a tribe of beast people that might be based on otters? The game doesn't say outright (at least not as far as I've gotten into the game), though there's one time when someone calls one of them a "weasel" but that might have just been an insult. They look like some kind of mustelid and are described as living mostly by rivers. They're called the Ashigumo and are pretty cool, though most of the tribe was wiped out and now persists as undead specters which are definitely very spooky.
