We all have a story of how we started to love otters, right?
About three years ago I saw a pair of Asian small clawed otters getting fed at a local wldlife park, I didn't really know what otters were before that and certainly had never seen any (except in anime and a few pictures). As I saw them running around and squeaking, I already had a sense that this was the animal. Later I found out they're not only cute and funny, but actually endangered and very important for the ecosystem. So logically, I had to devote myself to this new love and become their active supporter.
What are you guys' stories? Have you had wondrous enlightening experiences? Or have you just always loved otters?
I first found my love for otters on anoncafe’s /otter/. I had obviously known of otters prior to this, but only by witnessing such a concentration of pure otter love was I able to unlock my own natural love for these beautiful creatures

found an otter channel on telegram a few months ago, found them cute
>they(otters) are much better at being otters than rabbits are at being rabbits, any fool can be a guinea pig or a fox. But it takes an expert to be an otter: a self reliant, advanced animal, in control of their environment, learning its skills, looking after its young for a year. They are just the top predator, a very exceptional grade of animal.Now that's God's honest truth right there
I had heard a lot about Zootopia and finally convinced my then girlfriend to watch it with me.
It was hard convincing her because she thought it was silly for two adults to watch an animated movie, but eventually she agreed.
And then....she saw Mrs. Otterton with her little handbag, looking for her Husband. Very cute indeed. And as soon as she saw Mr. Otterton going crazy and angry, she laughed and said "Look, that's you!"
Soon she began to call me "Otter". It went so far that all her friends and family soon came to know me as "Otter". At first I disliked it and called her "Otterine" out of spite, but the names stuck.
When she was down I googled pictures of cute otters for her and soon stumbled upon various youtube channels where people had otters as pets.
I may be single again, but I'm still "Otter" at heart and watch some ottervideos almost every day.
I read a lot of Redwall books as a kid, and they instilled in me a love for many animals. Otters were common in Redwall books and two of my favorites were Triss, which contained a dashing otter sea captain, and High Ruhlain, which is about a young otter woman and her quest to reclaim her kingdom.
Those books led me to be more curious about real world animals and I learned so much as a result. They really laid the groundwork for me to become an otterfan.
