@idzie I hope so! I've only encountered them twice before (I've lived here 20+ years), and they give me so much joy.

❌ never seen an otter :(@ranjit @handmade_ghost No otters??? They are like little water puppies. Unlike manatee, which are just ginormous sea cows.

@ranjit @artcollisions I have some learn-to-draw books I love by Joy Sikorski, which taught me to draw a manatee as basically a little rounded hump above the water. It was labeled, "If this you see, / it's probably / a manatee," which is what I think whenever I see one (only ever in photos or once in an aquarium).

Spouse and I went to a local beaver pond in NC a few years ago, and there were two river otters there! I haven’t seen them since, but it was so cool.
