World Otter Day 2026!

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʢ·͡ᴥ·ʡ∩๐า╭∩าﾉ\︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵

Whilst I only really post about Sea Otters there are actually 14 different species of Otter!

They vary wildly in size, shape, likeability (I'm biased), geographical location, and assumptively every other factor that dictates them as separate subspecies.

So to celebrate all Otters on World Otter Day to raise awareness this and maybe some of the next few posts are some fun facts about otters generally and comparatively (because everyone knows that comparison is universally a harbinger of unity and joy) !

An Etymology Fact!

The word ' Otter ' comes from the Old English word ' Oter ' or ' Otor ', which (along with its Indo-European cognates) stems from the Indo-European word ' *wódr̥ ' which is also the root of the word 'water'.

I would additionally argue that this links to ' oiter ' and therefore means I am furthering linguistic development when I say 'Otter dinking they oiter'. Witnessing a simultaneous linguistic progression and regression and thus Ouroboros-ing the word back into itself.

Adult Northern Sea Otters can weigh between 32 - 45 kg (70- 100 lbs), that's about the same as 32-45 1kg bags of flour.

An adult Northern Sea otter also often between 120-150cm (3 ft 11 - 4 ft 11) tall, this is similar to the height of a short supermarket shelf that is 140cm tall.

So if you find digital images, art, or scientific sketches of Northern Sea Otters to be inadequate indicators of their appearance, try imagining a set of 140cm tall supermarket shelves stocked with 32-45 1kg bags of flour instead.

Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week!

Sea Otter Awareness Week?

A whole week every year during the last full week of September to raise awareness of Sea Otters, specifically their endangered status, current conservation, repopulation, and fun facts? ⋆｡°✩

A largely dead Sea Otter based Tumblr page reviving itself probably for a very short period of time just to partake in this week by providing links to educational/fun resources, sea otter images, and fun facts?⋆｡°✩

A sense of whimsy only achieved through the acquisition, repetition, and dissemination of information, images, and the general concept of the Sea Otter? ⋆｡°✩

A post formatted as a series of questions where there's not a reasonable option to satisfyingly end the post without escalating the questions beyond humour due to an overuse of 'the bit'? ⋆｡°✩

A de-escalation of the bit to transition into some links to events, fun facts, and external resources about sea otter awareness week? ⋆｡°✩

Sea Otter Awareness Week

Sea Otter Awareness W

Includes links to a series of talks by specialists in conservation and ecology throughout the week.⋆｡°✩

Well on my way to adding a different sea otter's birthday to every single day of my calendar to make getting out of bed easier.

[badstitched]

Throwback to my Sea Otter!! This cross stitch pattern has 6 variations you can choose to stitch! An earth, a starfish, a rainbow heart, a book, an otter pup, or a skull. What a variety! Now that I look at the skull, it just makes for a funny pattern.

Anyways, find this in my shop, it's a quick stitch!

Love when my interests intersect. New project!

Sea Otter Fact 8

Sea Otters can close their ears and nose so that they don't fill with water when diving.

Also they look a bit like coffee beans.

[beaglitters]

Sea Otter Fun Fact 9

Sea Otters have the thickest fur of any animal with around 1 million follicles per square inch.

For comparison humans have 100,000 on their head in total, or around 1,050 per square inch.

If I had hair that thick you'd simply never see me again.
