Hey otters,
I just discovered otterchat and wanted to share these conservation projects with you:
"Otterside": A Project in Germany, to create more/better/safer habitats for the eurasian otter:
https://www.otterside.de/spiel/
Bold**The Link to the website leads to a small browser game, where you can play as an eurasian otter!**Bold
"Aktion Fischotterschutz & Otterzentrum Hankensbüttel": Volunteers and Scientists working together, transforming german landscapes into more otter-friendly places, as well as educating people about the otters importance to nature. There is also a database for otter-spotters to enter their findings:
https://www.otterspotter.de
This is how we know, eurasian otter numbers are on the rise!
Otterzentrum Hankensbüttel is a Zoo where you can see eurasian Otters as well as other mustelids in their natural habitat and learn about them:

Thanks to these projects/institutions, the almost extinct eurasian otter is reclaiming germ...

Its ottercinne this weekend! Looking forward to seeing everyone. Im still looking for stuff to watch, but when I find something Ill post here. Hope youve all been having a wonderful new year so far
There has just been so, so much AI slop this month and it makes me sad. I found this longer doc about wildlife photography, its more about the person doing the photography than the animals themselves but it does look to be focused on river photography at least? Might be a good month to do a rerun, we have a few years of stuff stocked up now.

This one is about otters and decently long, I'm glad it popped up this month because it's been so dire lately.

I also found this, it's about Lusatia and rewilding former industrial areas. we had watched another doc about something similar and it was nice, so I figured I'd add it to the queue even if we cant watch it this week.

Hello! I can't believe this forum has hidden from me until today. For my first contribution I bring Otter cards from Magic the Gathering, a very popular trading card game. Pictured is my favourite, Coruscation Mage, an otter wizard. Ask if you have any questions about this, I might be able to answer.
There are quite a few, click the link below to see a comprehensive list of them:

(I had a skim through the catalogue, and I don't think this has been mentioned b4, sorry if it has)

hello otterchan! i really like otters (duh :P), so i decided to base my fursona off of one of them. can i have some advice so far? obviously it's just a very rough sketch at the moment, but i don't want to commit to anything and then have regrets about it later, so i'm politely requesting feedback now. i worry that it looks a little too much like the references in the top right (which belong to @squeakyspoopi.bsky.social), and so i want to get your thoughts on it. do you think it's too same-y? what are some physical features otter than (hehe) clothing that i can give my otter-sona in order to make him more physically unique? thank you so much!

I don't think its too samey. Maybe you could aim for something less small clawed otter and more spotted neck otter? They have cute fur patters, would differentiate things more?
otters have 5 toes on each hand with webbing between them, they have sharp claws or long fingers depending on species
