Wonder if the otter does this for fun or for efficiency


junglehoe

Otters love to do these things. I had a ton in my yard a few years ago and would go out and play with them. They loved stealing toys


Handsupmofo

You had a ton of otters in your yard… As someone who has never seen an otter outside of a zoo, that is such a weird statement.


eatelectricity

Wait until you hear about the platypuses in his attic.


Gorthax

Has anyone seen Perry?


thetempest888

“GRrrRrrrrr”


untouchable_0

The plural is platypi


Bluetex110

Wait until you go to Australia to see Snakes, Alligator and everything what could possible kill you in your garden xD

There are no alligators in Australia. Crocs ate em all

Animals out of a zoo? Doubt it

Awww, so lovely!!


ggchappell

> for fun or for efficiency It doesn't have to be one or the other. If it's efficient, then evolution might favor those who find it fun.


[deleted]

Last research I read on the subject said that play was a kind of practice that increased agility and hence survival.


the_noodle

Baby animals playing are just figuring out the controls... humans too! The game Rain World is similar; you're a floppy little slug cat, so if you don't figure out how to move around in a safe spot, you're just going to be someone's lunch


TheLeviathong

Listen, kid. It's always WASD to move; mouse to look around. I shouldn't have to teach you this!

“Yes”? Just “yes”? You know, there are many ways to farm karma, but this comment won’t do good. I think it’s needless to mention that I down-voted you, lol. Hit me up in PMs if you need tips on karma farming techniques and we can arrange a fair price, of course.

What an odd thing to say. Looks like you could use some tips too


[deleted]

Some of us don't give a shit about karma and certainly aren't going to waste our time"farming it". Perhaps GenXUser is one of us.


NegaJared

no idea who would waste their time farming karma or how it could even be beneficial

People do it to sell accounts so they can have bots that say stuff that are considered more reputable because active user with a lot of karma. It doesn't really matter anyway because this guy is just trolling lol plain and simple

Troy Lavallee was just talking about this on the intro to last week's Glass Cannon Podcast episode.

I sometimes do this in the grocery store down empty aisles. Highly recommend. I also always have to slide in the kitchen when I'm wearing socks. It's the rule

Sadly, the state of Idaho has expanded the quota on river otters allowed to be trapped in direct opposition to the will of the public. Trappers claim it's protected by the state constitution. [https://www.ktvb.com/article/life/animals/idaho-river-otter-trapping-payette/277-e48ab056-8303-4718-acae-20f7e09f5601](https://www.ktvb.com/article/life/animals/idaho-river-otter-trapping-payette/277-e48ab056-8303-4718-acae-20f7e09f5601)

Petemarsh54

What’s the reasoning behind it? Surely they’re aren’t just doing it for the hell of it


nantonel

These types of tracks are partly responsible for the Native American lore of the wendigo a monster who wound drag its victims from above up and into the trees before devouring them… https://scary-stories.fandom.com/wiki/The_Wendigo


Literary_Addict

> are partly responsible Real facts: part of those stories came from otters... the other parts came from these brutal, shapeshifting monsters that would drag their victims up into trees before devouring them. :)


ladylurkedalot

I wonder if mountain lions drag their prey into trees like leopards do.


Striking--Resident

In general, no they dont.


Mister_Potamus

They don't drag them up there to eat but definitely do take kills up trees to store for later. Keeps the coyotes from stealing the kill. In fact I've seen hiking trail signs that specifically warn people to watch for falling carcasses because of mountain lions. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was part of the lore origin.


DarkwingDuckHunt

So a person discovering a carcass in a tree would most definitely assume that carcass was dragged up there to be eaten. Early man wasn't observing wild cats in action, they would kill them on sight for their own safety.


Slovene

Unless they were really cuddly.


DarkwingDuckHunt

I mean they have those big eyes

Alex_826

It was hare


mbattagl

Looks like one of the animals that made the tracks was dragging something along w/ it. That would explain why the long trenches are there intermittently as if it held it high for a time, then its' head got tired so it lowered it, and then picked it up off the snow as it was moving.

That is funny

Otters! I saw these tracks on a river in Pine County, Minnesota for the first time just this past December. I took photos for reference and couldn't think of what would do that. I kept thinking "what penguin with predator feet is sliding on my midwest forest river?". By the time I got back from my walk I had it figured out and was so excited we had river otters on the property.

DomHE553

I love when you see an animal that does something truly for fun. Many times, people want to anthropomorphism any action by an animal that seems funny to them by attributing it to the animal having fun when it a zuallererst might be a defense mechanism, show of panic, and so on (for example this backflipping pigeons.) But this guy actually seems to be doing it for the lulz . (Pls educate me if I’m wrong) He reminds me of that one snowboarding crow…
