I might be into otters lots, maybe an unreasonable amount. But there's a problem i have is, what are some things I can do about it?
Most people have things they're interested in they can just do every weekend. otterwatching it's possible but not straightforward and otters aren't around everywhere. I know about otter spotting and that might be fun but don't know how rewarding it is regularly.
I'm usually just scrolling photos and browsing here and occasionally visiting zoo otters. So, I just wanted to hear some thoughts on this, what do you guys do for fun? Where do you channel your interest in ottery?

That's a great question, and I know how you feel, here's a few suggestions.
- Otter arts, do any kind of art with otters as the muse. I really like drawing simple cartoony otters for example, but it could apply to most artforms.
- Engage in otter studies, or otter-adjacent studies like river health, etc. I've read quite a few good books about otters, which is a good place to start. Perhaps the roles of otters in other cultures.
- Create tools for other otter enthusiasts, like this wonderful website. Or otherwise engage in nature conservation yourself (easier said than done ofc.)
Or, find hobbies that are otter adjacent, like hiking and camping (ideally by rivers or lakes)
Hope this helps :]
Have you tried Scuba-Diving? You love semi-aquatic mammals- just become one yourself!

I can get into that.
Those are some neat ideas too, so it comes down to art, books and other media, doing what you can to help otters and spendig time in nature in places where otters might hang out at. Looks like there's lots of ways to have fun with otts as you'd expect
Spectacular!!
