I… I Never Got to Thank Him…

Maynard stared in wonder at the writing on the wall. So the rumors were true, he realized. The outlaw known only as the Midnight Otter was real, and for as long as he was free, there would be hope for his people. And shellfish. And kelp to play with when they got bored. And also — have you got a pen? May want to write this down…

And then, in the distance, a cry of “Squeak! And awaaaaaaaay!”

Via Otter Novice Blog (Japanese). The message translates to “Maple,” which is the otter’s name, according to Daily Otter.

    If only I spoke Otterese, I could know the message of the Midnight Otter.

    Deep sympathy to Europe this morning.

    NTMTOM, you lead a rich inner life, don’t you. Wonderful.

    And yes, sympathies and a shared horror of what (wo)man can do to his fellow (wo)men. (trying to keep it fair and balanced as they say on Fox `~)

    I can’t decide which is cuter, the left paw drawing, or the right.

    NTMTOM you are a safe port of cuteness in a ocean of ugly, thank you.

      a resounding YES.

    The best part about this photo is that it was taken from inside the otter habitat. So it was for sure taken by another otter on his smartphone.

        Ha ha!!

        We both know that it would be better to be inside the Otter habitat. The only swimming position I can do reasonably well is the backstroke, so I would be totally cool with swimming on my back all day holding hands with otters.

    When we’re up against the foe, we need to know, KILROY was here.

    I am not sure as I have forgotten much over the years, but I think the message says “kaeteri”, something like “change is coming”.
    Maybe the Great SuperOtter is going to return and make some changes? 🙂
