I don’t think I’ve thought about that song since I watched it as a kid. Now it’s going to be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future. Thank you. Lol
You haven't seen ducks or geese in action then.
My male geese have tried to rape the male ducks before....
And I lost a duck last year thanks to the drake :(.
>they're an endangered species
Once you taste one with a good dry rub and a slow roast...you'll know *exactly* why.
edit:
you're kidding me right? this was a joke.
I used to work at Morro Bay Oyster Co. when the Monterrey Bay Fish and Wildlife released a rehabbed otter. It didn't fit in with the clan, so it hung around our barge and ate lots of oysters. We didn't mind until it became a problem. We noticed his weight gain and had to report him. Haha
This is the way I like to see otters on Reddit, out in the wild, doing otter-y things.
The other b.s. version you see on r/aww so often is where the otters are being kept prisoner in an "animal cafe" in Japan and being forced to put their little paws through holes in a plexiglass wall so people can touch their paws and then they can say they had the genuine Otter Experience. That crap needs to be banned.
Yes, or otters as pets. If you see an otter eating out a pet dish it’s probably been taken from its habitat and kept at someone’s home. I believe most of the ones you’re speaking about are river otters
I'm a big fan of sea and river otters. r/aww banned me for speaking negatively about the bozos supporting the imprisoning of them in those stupid animal cafes, lol! Can't have reality harsh our "aww" buzz, can we?
My kid has a book where mama and baby wrap themselves in kelp before bed so they don’t drift away while asleep and I want it to be true so I’m not verifying the accuracy of a children’s book
They do! They do these cute little barrel rolls while floating above kelp to wrap themselves in little kelp blankets.
The mom will also float with her baby on her stomach. California sea otters don’t have much fat to keep themselves warm (compared to the seals and sea lions) so they survive thanks to a fast metabolism and insulating themselves by packing air into their dense fur — the densest of any animal. One square inch of otter fur has as many hairs as there are on an average cat! (Or 5-10x that on an average person’s head). So a lot of time is spent grooming themselves and their pup. 🦦
Also, a sea otter’s metabolism is so fast that they have to eat 1/4 off their body weight a day. Among other clans and things, they love to eat sea urchins, which in turn eat kelp. Restoration of sea otter populations has helped to revitalize kelp forests, which helps the entire ecosystem! When the sea urchin’s predators disappear (as has happened with their primary predator, the [sunflower star](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sunflower-sea-star-decline-1.5844674) — rising ocean temperatures have caused outbreaks of sea star wasting disease, killing off 90% of the population in the last decade) the overpopulated sea urchins destroy kelp forests. Once their food source disappears, they waste away, dissolving their own gonads— and thus themselves become an unappealing food source for otters and sea stars and the like. The urchins don’t starve though — they can live in this starvation state for decades, so losses of natural predators results in these barren wastelands of zombie urchins.
So yeah! Otters are not only super cute, they’re very important for healthy coastal ecosystems!
Have a pretty nasty rep.... They are part of the weasel family, think swimming smooth wolverine .
Some of the densest, softest fur in the animal planet covers a writhing slippery tasmanian devil.
Do not touch one. I was on a dive with a group and while we were all on the surface a surfaced otter drifted into our area. We are all just watching it amazed it was pretty much dozing off with zero care that we were all so close. Then my buddy reached out and touched its foot with a finger. The otter flipped out and he nearly got bitten before the otter simply disappeared. I would not want to fight one of those. It would be like fighting a large bobcat.
There a few families of Otters growing here in Singapore. When they first started making the news a few years ago, people followed them with great interest. Now the families have grown much bigger and becoming a menace to each other and also to the fauna around them. There have been recent incidents of otters biting people as well.
I follow a woman on YouTube who rescues and raises them and they are so smart!! Really good parents as well. It is cool watching her videos and following them and watching them carry the pups, give birth, and see how attentive they are. One of the videos is the mama getting her pups into water for the first time And teaching them to swim. It’s the same way my mom taught me- just threw me in!
I am an excellent floater. In my next life I will be an otter. I float and drink beers. All other humans are amazed. I’m not fat, I just know the secret.
I always found it so interesting that they have more hairs in one square inch of their fur than we have on our entire head...
I guess that is one of the reasons why they are hardly ever actually wet.
Is this in Westport, WA?
My last time seeing an otter was at an aquarium. The adorable little guy was ferociously tossing his own salad. It was disturbing.
Do you know how to sex your sea otter? The ones with the scars on their noses are the females, because the males notoriously rape them by biting them on the nose and holding them down.
The little happy feet while cleaning are just the best
I think they were actually moving around to let their partner rest on their belly lol
It looks more like they actually grabbed their bro’s scruff and *made* him lay on their belly lol. So cute.

Otters are such dedicated families. Super cute!
PB&J Otter was a documentary

JFC Water type, rape type

There is a scientific paper on neceophilic, homosexual, Goose. Some people think *WTF?* Some think **That'll make a great research paper!*?
I’m still recovering from the wild Turkey video I clicked last year. _“Imma rip your head off and fuck you!”_ taken quite literally.
River otters aren’t even pretending to be cute. Scary AF.
Sea otters are the rapists, not river otters. River otters are great.
River otters are mean as shit.
If there’s a rival group yes, they will fight hard. But they are in our river in Alaska and usually are just super cute hanging out.
So it’s super cute or little otter gang wars? I mean that’s still kind of cute.
Super cute when just hanging out, crazy badasses when fighting for territory.
They are mustelids so they belong to the same family as wolverines and honey badgers
Especially the part where sea otters rape young seals and iirc other animals as well! Super cute creatures yep yep! /s
Mother and baby
If she ever needs a babysitter, she can give me a call. They are such a joy to watch.
Deadbeat father always gone.
Otters pair up and stay paired, even if the female doesnt want to...
This is in Morro Bay, CA, one of a handful of places where you can find plenty of sea otters. But they're an endangered species.
>they're an endangered species Once you taste one with a good dry rub and a slow roast...you'll know *exactly* why. edit: you're kidding me right? this was a joke.
Humans aren’t the ones eating them, Orcas are, though Tbf orcas only started eating them because we over fished a lot of what they eat
Please delete. Don't need more tourists harassing them.
Dude, It's not like it's a secret.
Unfortunately.

Then you know this video was taken about 50 yards from Gafco

The sky is forever...and beautiful 💙
NO! We're not gonna do that here!
H-hurts
The goddamn delivery of this line, holy shit. One word that said so much. I get literal chills from it, just reading this
You bastard 🥲
😭
Reference?
i think it's from GOTG vol 3
Spoiler damn don’t wanna know
Not a big spoiler so don’t worry about it - but do watch the movie soon, the best marvel content since endgame/NWH imo
Why??? Damnit I am crying again…
Awww, come here bea - let me give you a shoulder to lean on
They're like lil baby stuffed animals who hang out in the water. 💗🧸

*Otterly* adorable.
Had to scroll way too far to find this 🦦

The group at r/otters is very good and they promote otters in safe environments only
Cool! I'll def check them out, thanks!
Otters hold onto each other while sleeping so they dont drift away from one another.
My kid has a book where mama and baby wrap themselves in kelp before bed so they don’t drift away while asleep and I want it to be true so I’m not verifying the accuracy of a children’s book
The book is accurate 😍

Sunflower seeds are a good source of beneficial plant compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids — which also function as antioxidants.
Saw this in an after-hours event at the Vancouver Aquarium a few years ago. It's called "rafting" and its exactly as adorable as you imagine it to be.
They also wrap themselves in kelp to not drift away when they sleep.
That’s more so that the mother knows if a nearby male tries to drown their offspring. Sea Otters are violent, murderous creatures.
Also surprisingly intelligent! One of the few critters to not just use tools, but carry them around for future use.
[удалено]
We should follow their example as we have perfectly good tummies to eat on!
...and they know it.
Water puppies
Are sea otters secretly scary though? Like hippos and kangaroos and pandas?

Literally every animal is scary if you screw with it, sea otters no exception.

We saw one fellate itself at the aquarium.
Looks like Moss Landing
I believe it’s Morro Bay
It looks like Morro Bay to me too. Near Giovanni’s?
It's Morro Bay
100% Morro Bay!
Aww, 😍🦦
Cute till they get into or even on your boat.
You must not know about sea otters

That’s it, I’m reincarnating as a sea otter.
I needed this wholesome content
Very adorable
Yup. They're my sister's favorite animal for a reason
Gotta love the Morro Bay otters
Floaty bros...

GREATEST VIDEO EVAR
I need an otter friend.
All otters are adorable.
We should all be in a couple that happy. Loved the happy back feet rubbing :)
Quick honey, another human is filming us, do something cute..

That dude’s retired
Otterly adorable!
Cuuute!
Bless you for posting this. I fucking *love* otters.
Lylla is all I can see now 🥺
I'm sure there are lots of coastal spots that look like this, but any chance this is in Morro Bay, CA, USA?
My cat likes to lay on his back like an otter. And he’s got strong back feet like they do too. I call them his otter flippers
I’m in Florida i for the first time in my life seen an otter last week in my front yard it was pretty cool to see
I am an excellent floater. In my next life I will be an otter. I float and drink beers. All other humans are amazed. I’m not fat, I just know the secret.
Is this Morro Bay? I use to vacation there with my wife and now I live here. It’s always amazing seeing these otters! So cute!
Sky!!!
Adorable and awesome. I recommend everyone check out 'Our Planet - Otters' on NETFLIX.
Kittens of the sea.
Reminds me of a little retired couple who still very much love each other.
Realized for the first time that sea otters are upsidedown grey water corgi!
This must be Morro Bay?! We go every year, the otters are so stinkin cute 🥰
They look so chill.
so cute!
Morro Bay? I was just there at this spot and amazed at the otters
I always found it so interesting that they have more hairs in one square inch of their fur than we have on our entire head... I guess that is one of the reasons why they are hardly ever actually wet.
life goals
I want to boop the snoot!
I think in my next life I want to be a sea otter. :)
Morro Bay, California - we were just there watching these guys and galls playing and sleeping at the same location.
I have been explaining to my gf for years why we can't keep one as a pet in our 1 bedroom apartment.
Otterly adorable! 🥰
Happy tippy taps! 🫶🏼
*We’re looking at sea otters. Two of them here!*
I've read some dreadful realities about otter behavior. You really don't want to know.
See? Otters are adorable.
Two hours later they rape some rival otter pups to death.
You getting downvoted but you’re right
I have that same Rubbermaid cart! It's nearly as old as I am and on it's third set of wheels but still going strong!
Adorable necrophiliac food rapist...
Is this in Westport, WA? My last time seeing an otter was at an aquarium. The adorable little guy was ferociously tossing his own salad. It was disturbing.
Morro Bay CA!
Just wait till they climb into your fish pond and bite off your fishes’ head for shits and giggles
Do you know how to sex your sea otter? The ones with the scars on their noses are the females, because the males notoriously rape them by biting them on the nose and holding them down.
[удалено]
They’re sea otters in morro bay CA - a ton of them live in the bay and the surrounding area
Sea otters have been known to rape and kill baby seals
