Whoa! They are so close to the camera... That lil guy is too curious. Precious nonetheless!

Do you call them babies, pups or cubs?

>>487

I usually go with pups, but I honestly have no clue what the proper terminology would be. I usually say that if it feels ottery to you, it's good enough for me!

>>488

It does seem very otters to me. But I think it's otters if you call them whatever you want, i'm not even sure there is a proper terminology

Fyi: Otter mums often leave their pups alone while they go hunt, so if you find a baby otter by itself in the wild it's probably not abandoned. Just wait a few hours and see if mommy returns.

Tiny baby otts need to grow up into big strong otts. Thats why they have to be good at learning and eating, learning fast and eating fast.

Some of them just skip it altogether and drink straight from the bowl. With interesting results.

HUMAN I MUST ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS

>>604

Do they feed cow milk to the otters? Or is it from another animal?
Hmmm. I wonder what drinking otter milk would be like.

>>605

I remember reading that sea otter milk is around 20% fat, similar to other marine mammals.

This is very informative. Thanks, otternon!

>>487

Aren't they called Kits?

>>642

I've never heard them called that before.

Who dares to prevent the otter from imbibing the fluid of nutrition?

Imbibing is surviving. I hope the otter got his fill in the end.

baby otters are very good at learning about the world. After a few weeks they learn about solid food. Then they leave their den and learn about grass, water, trees and the sky. After that they learn how to swim n hunt. That's all they need to know really.

Growing and learning is how a baby otter becomes a adult otter. A very fascinating and positive process.

I'm so glad that the otter gets lots of milk to drink. Im sure his bones are gonna be strong.

Strong bones are vital for otters. Structured, stylish slinkiness.

I like my otters with milk and sugar

>>1258

Otters are already sweet

>>1154

Strong bones and strong bonds.

They say you never finish learning, but there's just so much that fits inside an otter's small head.

>>1259

Enjoy otters in moderation. Too much sugar is not healthy.

If there is something the world needs more of it's baby otters

The world could always use more otters, and all new otters are usually packaged initially as baby otters.

>>1378

All otters are the babies of other otters which are the babies of other otters which are...

>>1426

All otters of today are the result of a long chain of otters having babies all the way back to the original otter. A neat thing to think about.

>>1263

No such thing as too much otters. The more otters the better is what I say!

The more, the otter.

Eurasian AND Asian Small Clawed Otter pups were born in my local zoo all within two weeks' time. One of the Eurasians is a little underweight but otherwise they're all healthy. Here's some videos of them

And the two Eurasian pups. They've been waiting forever for the otters to have offspring, this is really a cause to celebrate

>>3123

>>3124

I love them! They're so small, I'm glad they are being taken care of and I hope they have very fulfilling lives.

>>3123

That's so phenomenal! Always a happy day when new otters come into the world

Sadly, the underweight Eurasian pup didn't make it. The keepers did their best to take care of her, but she passed away two weeks after she was born.

It looks like her sibling will make it, at least. Gonna have to hope for the best and wait for her parents and the remaining cub to come out of the holt on their own.

Infant mortality is always sad, but this is why lots of animals have litters. I also hope the other one pulls through.

Found this on the news section, looks like we've got some new otters in Connecticut!
