Yep, that's about right (and I have first-hand knowledge of this).

I always upvote otters, and their Lutrinae kin! ๐Ÿฅฐ

(Yes, that's me on the right. ๐Ÿ˜‹)

But why does the relevant Wikipedia page not show it in an image but only in text?

Also not sure about not-sea otters.

My theory is that otters have hacked the Wikipedia page in an attempt to erase the photo proof so that no one sees it and wants to steal their special rock!

Also, I wanna share these LOOOK

But do the otters then become emotionally bonded to the rock, such that even when offered an objectively better rock, they often value the sentimental above the practical?

I'm no expert (not even close,) but from what I understood of what I had read about them, it sounds like they do. I can be the same haha
