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!

What do they use them for?

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.

I spied another game otter! It's just on a poster, but still

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

Yeah it's definitely up there. A towering performance that really rises to a high standard

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

Every Friday is a good day to celebrate otters! I hope everyone had a great Friday

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

>>3816

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

>>3842

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.

>>3881

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.

>4 toes

not an otter

He's trying his best...

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.

>>3795

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.

>>3797

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