ears

I'd imagine that otters' sense of hearing isn't as well developed as their other sense, notably their acute sense of smell. It probably isn't bad, but when you're spending so much of your active time under the water, that doesn't leave a lot of time your hearing super well. As for my favorite otter ears, I'm a big fan of the ears of the African clawless otter

Predators usually have really good hearing. But otters probably don't need that underwater.

Some pretty ears right there. I think all otters have nice ears, they are very small and unassuming which is cute.

Otters are much better at smelling and seeing than hearing, when hunting underwater they just use their fish radar.

Otters are quite unassuming, they have a beauty you only really notice on the second glance.

what's not to love about these ears?

Let's play a game!
Can you tell what kind of otter this ear belongs to?

>>2349
Based on the slight color shifts, I’d guess an Asian small-clawed otter

>>2352 The color is similar, but no... try again!

>>2353
Hmmm. Maybe a smooth-coated or Eurasian otter?

>>2360
Nope! Eurasians have more brownish fur, and smoothies are smoother.

>>2349
African clawless otter?

>>2363
No
Shall I reveal the answer?

>>2365
I’m gonna take one more shot: is it a North American River Otter?

>>2370
It's actually a giant otter!

>>2372
That was a tricky one. Compared with other otters >>2166 the giant otters ears are really small for its head.
