Hi, how a thread about otters doing things they aren't seeing doing much or is unusual for them? I'll start with an acrobatic climber

I like fish and otters like fish. What's your favourite fish? I enjoy herring.

I think stoats and weasels and such are more aggressive chicken chokers than otters are, but I'm sure otters can do it too if they need to
Eating fish is very unhealthy for the fish.

But fish are tasty!
They wish they weren't, but they are.
I love salmon and mackerel, and I gotta agree that smoked fish is good fish!
We all have a story of how we started to love otters, right?
About three years ago I saw a pair of Asian small clawed otters getting fed at a local wldlife park, I didn't really know what otters were before that and certainly had never seen any (except in anime and a few pictures). As I saw them running around and squeaking, I already had a sense that this was the animal. Later I found out they're not only cute and funny, but actually endangered and very important for the ecosystem. So logically, I had to devote myself to this new love and become their active supporter.
What are you guys' stories? Have you had wondrous enlightening experiences? Or have you just always loved otters?

It really is great. Everyone here is just so great, and otters make everyone into a better person. I'm so happy that I'm here. Even if Otterchan isn't always the most active, it's the nicest and most ottery
You're right, it absolutely is the nicest. I was thinking it could potentially be more ottery if actual otters were here, but who know, maybe some of you are otters! The rest of us would never even know

Some sweet comments here ^^
I into otters as a kid after having a dream about the otters from Urchin of Mistmantle. I got curious about otters and it just snowballed from there. When I learned about their curiosity and intelligence I KNEW
these were my favourite animals, and also they're stinkin' cute ^^

Otters are not very sexually dimorphic at all. The males look almost identical to the females... apart from that
. How can you tell if an otter is a boy or a girl by looking at it? I really want to acquire this skill.
By the way, do you also usually call otters "he" by default, until you know? I don't want to call them 'it'. Maybe they should be called otter.
I can't really tell the difference, but I struggle with the captcha so I'm not a good example
I usually go with singular they when I don't know. I know some people don't like singular they, but "you" is also a plural pronoun that is used in singular form and I think if I insisted people use "thou", the singular version, they'd pop a gasket so it all seems kindof silly to me.
Yeah from my experience it's hard to tell between the genders, atleast for me. I suppose the females a bit smaller, but otherwise they seem pretty much the same. I think the males have a bit rougher facial features and broader muzzles, and while I like to believe I can see the difference I doubt I would pass any test! The more obvious clues are ofc the males having their scrotum and the females their teats. Also, female sea otters can sometimes be seen with a scratch on their nose after mating.

Wow, albino otters are truly rare! I've seen lots
of pics of rudder butts, but I can count on my hand the number of albino otter's I've encountered. I can only imagine how rare they are IRL then!

>tfw no colossal otter cryptids
Is that a screenshot from the show? If so then oh my goodness it looks adorable!
I don't know off the top of my mind where to find it, but I've got a lot of sources I can check to find it. I'll report back within the next couple of days

It's from a game, but today I was watching my friend play Genshin and learned they added otters to the game recently! They're super cute.

So neat to see otter in media, I just wish there were more of them!

Since otters walk on all fours, would an otter doing curls be considered arm day or leg day?

Otters' forelimbs are sometimes legs and sometimes arms
In this picture he's using them as arms so I'd call it arm day

I need some otters to cheer me up
