Hey, you guys are welcome to visit us any time. I like having visitors. Just don't post so many threads please

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?

Probably, otters are very wise after all, they know many things.

I'd say they are at least vaguely aware.

>tfw don't live in a country with an otter population

If I did I would look into volunteering for a charity. I'm not a vet but shit if someone 200 miles away said they found an otter cub in their garden I could pick it up for the charity.
If I had bigger balls I'd make a career out of hunting down poachers in SEA

That makes me think. Are there any remote Otter jobs, for those of us who don't live near otters?

>>2760

Charities sometimes have volunteer openings for work in the media space, where you could work remotely editing content and stuff.

I don't even know how one can go the poacher hunting route
how do you even get hired

You'd have to become a ranger in one of the anti-poaching units in sub-saharan Africa. These guys are mainly focused on protecting rhinos and elephants from poachers in what's known as the Rhino War. You'll go through military-style training to fight poaching gangs and wildlife traffickers, well-funded organized criminals who have access to armored vehicles, helicopters and modern weapons, which they can pay for by smuggling ivory to Asia. You on the other hand will need to make do, you're much more restricted both by laws (can't wear camouflage in some African countries, not allowed to shoot first, etc) and your budget, which means you're getting an AK47 with two magazines. Then they send you to the African jungle where you'll patrol for several days, sleeping in a hammock and surviving off bugs on the floor.
You can join them as a volunteer, but you usually need to be at least a permanent resident of the country where they operate or else they can't give you a gun. Pic is from one of the better-known ones. I'm not aware of such units existing in the SEA region, though it would be great if we could intervene against otter poaching. Imagine if the poachers came to get the baby otters but got a bloody nose instead. Don't know what needs to happen for that to be possible, but I'm sure it is.

This is like stuff straight from my nightmares.

How could you have a nightmare about an otter? That is just utterly ridiculous

I’d love to watch some sort of movie where a bunch of different types of otters come together to help each other out

Someone should write a new Redwall book about different otter tribes banding together.

Excellent question, and not easy to answer. I think it's the elegance and sublimity of everything they do, combined with their relaxed, curious attitude. Otters are animals that are at peace with themselves and their surroundings while at the same time dying to learn more about everything.

As has been said, this is difficult to answer exactly. Of course otters are cute, which was an initial reason for my interest in them, but as I've grown to understand more about them, the importance that they have on their ecosystem has a beauty in and of itself. And the ease that they display within their ecosystem has such a natural beauty to it. And otter never tries harder than he has to, and always has time for play and fun

I'm fond of how sleek they look

I love their adorable faces

I also just love the way they are formed

I couldn't agree more. You come with a frown and leave with a smile. It feels like together we can actually get something done for otters.

I saw this and immediately thought of this thread! Good to see I wasn't alone.

Otties are always welcome guests in my house though I'm not sure if they'll be as nicely received everywhere

Hopefully that'll just serve to drive otters where they'd be truly appreciated
