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

Ok, I'm here to start a fight!
I reject the notion of "non-sea otters"! Enhydra are the weirdos among the Lutrinae, and the default assumption of otter should be Lutra, Lontra, Aonyx etc.

Where I am, we have tons of river otters. We see them rarely even just when looking out our window. They're far more "normal" here than sea otters. If anything, I'd be concerned if I saw a sea otter over here.

I don't know if I'd say one or the other is weird, though.
