He may be kind of ugly and scary looking but he's my boy.
I mean, it's like the difference between between a ferret and a fisher cat
They'll both bite you
But one looks a lot cuter when they do it
River otters are really cute from other angles though. This is river otter slander and I won't take it 😤
these are deceptively ugly pictures of river otters when actually they're quite cute and more adorable than their sea-faring cousins.
look at these cute little bois 😭

Those are North American river otters, not giant otters (which live in the Amazon)
It's like harbor seals vs. leopard seals
I went on a jungle trip once and tried explaining how mad the 2m long (!) giant river otters are to my guide.
"Imagine if I told you that on the other side of the planet there are dogs that are 3m long!!!"
He didn't quite get how astounded I was haha. The squeaky sounds giant river otters make to scare you off are something else.
"Incredible Violence of a River Otter" would make a great title for a technical death metal song
I'd read a book of that title as long as it delivers with violent otters
