  1. <--- Otter Racist Sea Otters only please. Sea otters are adorable and delightful and eat clams on their belllies. River otters are just big rats that swim.

  2. OTTERDAY.

    Also, when otters float on their backs eating shellfish, everyone’s all “awwwwwwwwwww” but when I do it everyone’s all “ewwwwwwwwwww” so wtf.

    @Todd: Thanks for ruining everything.

  3. Thank you, Erik. As Director of PFAFO (Parents and Friends of ALL Fucking Otters), I warmly embrace the river otter. In fact, it’s my favorite zoo animal and second favorite animal in general next to the sloth.

    Colin=a nutria.

  4. Remember Redwall? I do. Redwall totally had river otters, and those guys rocked.

    FUN NUTRIA FACT: Nutria (such as our dear friend CC) have back nipples. It’s true!

    @CC: YOU HAVE BACK NIPPLES.

  5. Otters were ruined for me when I learned what they do to baby seals, but no, no, you all continue enjoying them – I’ll just be over here weeping quietly.
