[–]Splitshadow 11 points12 points ago

I bet I could eat 100 human children

[–]KSUNVI 1 point2 points ago

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat a hundred children, but take it from this old cannibal rat, I've spent my entire adult life on public beaches eating children, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

Eating a child basically only trains the Jaw muscles and to some extent, the esophagus. What you really want to do is train your entire body, all the major muscle groups (chest, back, abdomen, legs, shoulders and arms) at the same time, over the course of a cannibalism session. And don't forget dessert!

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with eating children, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find a good child eating trainer (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and let them guide you in your quest for ultimate human child meal. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being totally hungry the first time you go out into public and capture a child to eat. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway. Now get out there and start eating!

[–]Sleepy_One 3 points4 points ago

I have the perfect cookbook for you. I believe the title was "To Serve Man".

[–]pissoutofmyass 15 points16 points ago

Some otters are expert at opening shellfish, and others will feed on available small mammals or birds. Prey-dependence leaves otters very vulnerable to prey depletion.

They're probably trying to hunt the kid.

[–]qsnps 1 point2 points ago

Killed it. =/

[–]Canis_lupus 1 point2 points ago

You say prey depletion. The Otters say flexibly omnivorous.

I love otters. I went to the Seattle Aquarium a few years ago while it was under renovation so there weren't many people there. As I was approaching the otter exhibit (small tank) they were just lounging on top of the water. People were walking past but not stopping to watch them at all. As soon as I got close they started playing tag like crazed kids. As soon as I left the area they stopped and just sat there. Came back and they turned on again. They genuinely love to perform for humans, it's awesome.

[–]mechasmokey10 182 points183 points ago

They're just like, "Hey man, I'm an otter, and I give fucks because humans are awesome and otters are awesome and I'm gonna go do a trick for you and see you smile because I love making humans smile and if I could smile you'd see a big grin on my face because I'm a freaking otter."

.....

Okay maybe they don't but I like to think they do.

[–]wizrad 48 points49 points ago

Also they hold hands when they nap.

Explanation: They do this because they often sleep in open waters and like to stick together. So they hold hands. Also they do it because it makes them look fucking adorable and those little guys know it.

[–]mechasmokey10 11 points12 points ago

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!

I may have just squeaked a little.

:D

[–]wizrad 25 points26 points ago

[–]mechasmokey10 4 points5 points ago

Honestly, the only thing that would make that video better is if it were giggling and squirming more :D.

I. LOVE. OTTERS!!!!!

Glad you like the videos! :-D Have one more!

[–]Vimsefreet 54 points55 points ago

You just made me want to write a letter to my city Zoo (Bergen, Norway) and ask them to change in their stupid penguins for some otters. Atleast the otters care :/

[–]VengefulOctopus 78 points79 points ago

All the penguins do is flap around and shit.

[–]firelight 105 points106 points ago

Mammals > Birds.

Everyone knows it, we're just all being polite not saying it because birds' granddaddies were dinosaurs, and you gotta show some respect.

[–]Lady_Molotov 10 points11 points ago

I went to an aquarium recently where a penguin spent at least 20 minutes swimming into the glass, surface for air, dive down, and continue. People thought it was being social... It was trying to escape. I laughed at the spectacle, but still felt really bad for it.

[–]NightlyNews 2 points3 points ago

If it makes you feel any better a bird that retarded would probably get killed in the wild by swimming into a whales mouth or something.

The smart ones just sit there and brood in depression.

[–]Laniius 8 points9 points ago

Penguins are awesome because in the Antarctic the Emperor Penguins don't walk - they toboggan. How is that not awesome?

[–]fiercelyfriendly 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah? Where do they buy their toboggans from eh? Eh? No shops in the Antarctic.

[–]MasterAssBlaster 4 points5 points ago

The otters at my local museum will do backflips off the glass in front of people if theyre in the mood. Most of the time theyll follow your watch around doing crazy aquatic acrobatics. Coolest memory from my childhood.

[–]mechasmokey10 7 points8 points ago

Follow your dreams! If penguins were as happy and showy as otters, I'd be the happiest man alive :D They'd be wearing suits AND performing! Who could ask for more? :D

[–]scrtagent101 1 point2 points ago

But wouldn't they be cold?

[–]Vimsefreet 3 points4 points ago

I don't see why, they could just stay inside and outside like the penguins get to.

[–]scrtagent101 2 points3 points ago

Yay! Let's get Norway some otters!

[–]Vimsefreet 5 points6 points ago

I'm all out though, got any spare? And don't give me any 'canadian otters', all those things were, were beavers. And not the good kind (the otter kind, you dirty bugger.)

[–]Dr___Awkward 2 points3 points ago

Well, you could just go and catch some in the wild. I'm not really sure what otter options you have.

[–]aakaakaak 21 points22 points ago

Another Washington story: So I was hiking with my family in the mountains and we got to the ice flows. We noticed some movement on the ice and thought someone was in trouble. As we approached we noticed it was a family of otters (or we think it was otters) sliding down the ice flow and hauling ass back up a ways to slide down again, humans or no humans.

Otters

[–]titaniumdecoy 2 points3 points ago

Neat.

(FYI, you spelled ice floe wrong.)

[–]stinieroo 14 points15 points ago

I love the Seattle Aquarium! I was there several years ago and the otter exhibit was my absolute favorite! Though the "petting zoo" was also super cool, as was the badass octopus that kept climbing out of its tank.

Anyway, one of the otters kept hitting the glass with a small rock and you could kind of hear the rock go tink tink tink tink tink against the glass, then it would lose the rock and you would hear its paw against the glass go thump thump and that's when it would realize then rock was gone so it would dive back to the bottom of the tank to retrieve the rock and then tink tink tink tink tink thump thump ::PAUSE:: tink tink tink tink tink thump thump etc... It was beyond freaking adorable.

Here is the otter in question. You can kind of see the rock in this sadly blurry pic (it's a dark brown otter, that tiny bit of white/gray at the bottom middle-ish part of the photo which looks almost like it could be its paw pad...that's the rock). Seriously...my favorite otter ever.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

It was trying to pull an Andy Dufresne.

[–]stinieroo 5 points6 points ago

omg...it totally was! If you look at the background in those photos, you can kind of see the blue line above the water is damaged concrete from that little bastard beating against the concrete walls with its little rock. Kind of sad, to be honest but damn that bastard was freaking adorable.

Another pic just because. And yeah, I'm the foreground brunette.

[–]IgnorantDesign 10 points11 points ago

Was once on a boat trip to some of the islands in Prince William Sound (near Anchorage, AK), and the boat captain comes on the loudspeaker to announce that there are some sea otters up ahead. So, of course, we all head to the front of the ship to see them. Well, we didn't have to look that hard...the boat was practically running them over!

I was horrified for a moment, wondering if the captain wasn't being horribly reckless, when I noticed something. Looking out ahead of the boat, you could see otters in the distance swimming toward the path of the boat. Then, as the boat passed, they would turn around and "surf" the boat's wake on their backs. They were playing the whole time!

[–]corcyra 1 point2 points ago

You must have been so delighted! That's something I'd like to see one day. Dolphins do that as well, and those I've seen. They'll surf the bow waves of boats for long periods of time, twisting and turning and diving and leaping up, often turning on their sides to look up at you if you happen to be on the bow looking down at them. And they do look you in the eye - no mistaking the intelligence there. It's wonderful being in a boat which is being used by wild animals as a plaything, and there's a real sense of privilege at not being regarded as a menace, for a change.

[–]Imstillawake 2 points3 points ago

I live in SLO which is the furthest south otters venture. It's amazing to be out surfing and have an otter pop up his head right near you.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

[–]Zegarek 56 points57 points ago

My fiance flips her shit for otters. She's convinced that one waved at her when she was a kid and she has loved them ever since. I used to think that she was just being weird, but the more I learn about otters and the more otter exhibits I see, the more I think she may have been right.

Those furry little bastards love to play and mess with humans. How have they not been domesticated on a large scale?

I used to work at the Seattle Aquarium (that's where this is at.) Those otters were all so very friendly.

[–]blowconfused 7 points8 points ago

Dumb question: Are there otters that are mean?

[–]imgnrphx 8 points9 points ago

I worked with some North American river otters this past fall and they can be mean. If you got too close to one it would make kind of growling like noises and lunge at your feet. They also always seem act as if they are starving, even if we just fed them an hour before (we fed them 4 times a day). Lol!

[–]blowconfused 1 point2 points ago

Sounds like my doggie. "Always" hungry! You seem to have a very interesting job!

[–]sictransitgary 13 points14 points ago

This is actually the otter exhibit I built in my backyard last year out of an old swimming pool and some 2x4s. No idea who the little kid is, though.

I once played fetch with some otters at an aquarium. There was this ball of paper in the underwater tunnel and when I threw it along the edge of the tunnel it would chase it. It would then stop and point at it with its nose until I picked it up and thew it the other way. It was so freaking cute!

At Maymont in Richmond, the otter exhibit is set up exactly like this, and I used to do this all the time when I was little. The game never got old for any of the participants, parents had to drag me away.

[–]praline29 2 points3 points ago

Some posters seem to think the kid is a jerk for "teasing the otters". I suspect the otters are happy to race & chase the kid. Looks like a game to me. Anything to break up the monotony of life in a jar, right?

[–]MustHaveCleverHandle 1 point2 points ago

I was thinking that too...if that glass wasn't there, they'd tear his/her face off.

[–]IonOtter 2 points3 points ago

There must be similar setups with aquariums and whatnot, because the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center has this very same thing. It looks very much like this gif, which is totally awesome I should add. But hey, I'm obviously biased. ;)

Anyway, they only do this with the kids. Adults are totally boring, and they won't react to adults at all. Unless you speak "otter", that is.

The far right of the exhibit in VA has a window that the otters can look out to see people on the walkway. They rarely go there, since they have to climb up out of the water. But I parked myself on the walkway and waited.

Eventually, one of them came up to sniff at their pen door, and I started to do my dance. I'd bob up and down, darting my head back and forth, and generally act like an otter who was trying to figure out what they were looking at.

The otter in the exhibit said: (゜-゜)

I kept it up.

Otter #1: O.O

Me: bobweavebobbounce*

Other otters: ?・・) at Otter #1

Me: keeps going

Otter #1, 2, 3: (@_@)

Staff @ desk watching me: (?_?)

Me: FULL THROTTLE TIME WARP

Otters #1-5: \(◎o◎)/ paws plastered on the glass, sniffing at the gap

Everyone at the lower exhibit: (´・ω・`) All the otters were gone

Staff: (⌒▽⌒)

Me: ( ̄ー ̄)

Tourists: ಠ_ಠ

They swim really well, considering they are bulletproof.

Upvote because otters are the baddest bitches at the zoo. You heard me, lions.

Otters are like aquatic dachshunds.

I so wish I was just an otter instead one of these damn human things. That right there is truly the life.

That's cute. I want a couple of those Otters.

I've seen river otters maybe 6 times in the wild around Yellowstone, and its always the coolest thing. The only time I've ever seen them not playing in some sort of adorable way was the time I accidentally climbed onto a rock on top of their home/favorite fishing hole, and they all growled and barked at me. Also, otters bark.

Everyone's saying this is a boy. Am I the only one who thought it was a girl? That was partially why I thought it was so adorable. On the cuteness scale, boys are about a 6, girls are like, 9. Still cute as hell, though.

This at the Philadelphia Zoo, in case anybody wanted to know. I've had the pleasure of doing this myself several times.
