:O cuteness! Looks like the otters we have in the zoo in my city :D

OTTER! WOOT!!!

Hey, I recognize this critter.

Yes?

Well, I'm an anthro lontra canadensis myself.

There are more lontra canadensis out there. :3

Yah, I'm sure there are. They're a pretty common river otter here in North America and probably one of the two river otters people generally associate with the term "otter", the other being the Eurasian Otter (lutra lutra).

Too bad there are no "small claw otters"-Fursuits out there. They are cute, too.

Asian small claw otter is my favorite otter actually. I'm much bigger and more anthro and from the Pacific NW so I might be a Northern river otter myself but I love those little small claws. They always seem to hang together in huge packs and they're so small and cute. Like big ferrets really. I hear of all the otters small clawed are probably the most commonly kept domestically.

Small-clawed otters ARE cute as hell, aren't they? I've heard of people having them as pets too. I've actually worked with them. The ones I had were fat and spoiled. They were so hyper they were harder to train than other otters and bit anything that got put into their enclosure. But they weren't intentionally mean, I just think they liked to bite. I loved the way they explore the world with their hands especially. Oh and their messes smelled to high hell. But they were still so comical and playful you couldn't help but love 'em.

BTW I found out recently a group of River Otters is called a "Romp". Funny. A group of Sea Otters is a "Raft", and a group of Ferrets is a "Business". I wonder if that's like a "Funny Business"?

I think ferrets are funny.

Me too. I want one but I live in the only state in the contiguous 48 that has them illegal to own.

Fail.

Epically. The governator really screwed us on that one.

Was this taken in a zoo in your neck of the woods?

Yay for L. canadensis! My favorite! *runs around in circles* I've never seen one in the wild here in California though. I must not be looking in the right places. Lotsa sea otters though.
