↬Basic Info↫

〘Common Name: Otter〙

〘Scientific Name: Mustelidae〙

Otters are mammals usually weighing between 10 and 75 pounds that are typically anywhere from 2 to 6 feet long.

Otters are actually a part of the weasel family. Distinct features of the otter include long bodies and tails covered in a dense fur, a small nose, short ears, and webbed feet.

They can be located on every continent except for Australia and Antarctica.

↬Senrimental Attachment↫

As I said earlier, otters are my favorite animal. However, there is reasoning behind this choice besides their cuteness.

My significant other loves otters. They suggested that we call eachother "significant otters." If I correctly, they said they got this idea from the YouTuber Jenna Marbles. I took to this idea right away, thinking it was adorable.

Thier name in my phone is now "Otter" with some heart emojis. Someday we plan on getting matching otter tattoos.
