Sometimes otters EAT the grass
Interesting relationship between otters and the grass
Sometimes they'll bask in it, sometimes they'll play with it, and sometimes, they'll bite it
It feels like a metaphor for love

This is a very distinguished otter, a connoisseur of urban art and expression. What other refined and artistic otters are there?

Whoa look at him go! He deserved that fishy
He hunted through all those fishies just to find the single most delicious one!
It only takes one otter to frighten a thousand fish.

Hello forum, I love otters very much, It took me 1 minute to solve the captcha because I know otters that well, but I do have a question?
How do I adopt an otter, I had tried to call my local pet shop to ask if they have any otters, but they said no :(. So I have come here to ask if anyone knows any place in northern New Mexico that might have otters?
P.S. I love the little emotes you guys have here
Adopting otters is a bad idea, because domestic environments are unable to provide the sorts of circumstances in which otters thrive. Otters need very specific situations to be happy, and houses just can't give those. If you love otters, support programs that keep them in the wild, where they're really happy!

And 1 minute is pretty long, you didn't have to look it up did you?

hi i guess i came from some imageboard list
Hello! Welcome in, it's neat to see that people are still looking for boards in current year and I think you found a rather nice one personally. I hope you enjoy your stay
This is great news! The article also mentions an action plan for otters is in the works which would be great for conservation efforts I'm sure

I’m learning Welsh right now, and I just got the word otter, “dyfrgi.” I also know that otter in Latin is “lutra.“ I don’t know about any other languages though, do y’all know any other words for otter?
Off the top of my head
* wydra in polish and other slavic languages
* sudal in korean
* kawauso in japanese
* loutre in french
* lontra in italiano
* tha'leb el ma` in arabic
* saukko in finish
* su samuru in Turkish
* kunduz in kazakh and some central asian languages (also means beaver)
* nutria in spanish
* rai ca in vietnamese (pronounced sai ta)
* fisi maji in (pretty sure it was) swahili
I recall we once had a spreadsheet of them, does anyone still have it?
Forgot memerang in Malay and berang-berang in Indonesian

Riro, from the aquarium Marine World Uminonakamichi, has passed away today, 2025/1/4 (Japan). He was 17; They say his health has been deteriorating. The aquarium has been raising sea otters continuously since 1989, but Riro was the last sea otter they had. That means the only captive sea otters in Japan are Kira and May at the Toba aquarium.

It's always sad when an otter passes away but they had lived a long time and at least they didnt suffer in the end. He certainly was the cool uncle, such an ambassador, he will be missed.
