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

This last Friday was a good one, and I certainly felt ottery with the amount of time that I spent in a creek

Story time? What were you doing in the creek? I'm interested

Oh, nothing all to interesting. I was out doing some frisbee golfing with friends, I'd had a bit much to drink, and I fell into a creek that goes through multiple runs. It was really funny at the time, but it's become less so since it happened.

Sounds like it was a fun time, and otters are all about having fun afterall, so along with the creek time it was certainly a very ottery day.

Learn from otters how to raise your children
317 kb jpg
We can learn a lot from otters, so do otters have any lessons to teach us about parenting? Otters offer warmth, love and comfort to their young, but they don't hesitate to play rough with them or put them through scary situations as a lesson. What do otter parents get so right that each young otter cub grows up to be an otter?

Yeah that's right, never abandon your kids somewhere they aren't (or don't feel safe)... Mom is always close by and she knows what she's doing, the cub is never really in danger even if he feels it. Otter mums know how to keep that balance.
>Along with mothering multiple pups throughout their lifetimes, sea otter moms do it single-handedly. They are truly “single mothers”, with no child support or help with pup-rearing from dad.
This saddens me, the OP pic made me think otters mate and stick together for life.

It depends on the species! Sea otters might be mostly solitary, but marine otters mate for life, the otters of Singapore group together in related clans to hunt and raise the little ones together, giant otters and Asian small clawed otters often live in little family groups of the parents and their young. I think those are small clawed otters in the pick, so probably some parenting teamwork goin on there.

This is reassuring, thank you. Otter pups deserve the best possible life.
Tangent: I am learning so much from this captcha system too.

Otter parents know what the best situation is for their pups.

Hello Otterchat, I like your imageboard and I run an imageboard myself.
I have just reopened it with a board for animals and cute animals but it lacks any photos of Otters.
Could you please flood my imageboard with photos of Otters.
If you don't want to that is okay.
I apologize in advance if this sort of thread isn't allowed, I couldn't find a rules list.
