Hmm.. I think it's from the same site as the otter ornament. Apparently this is the place to shop for all sorts of cool otter gear. Don't worry, my next post will definitely have a link to a new site. For now... <br /> <br />LINK <br /><a href="http://www.seaotters.org/store/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Detail&Product=164&CatID=4">Otter Bottle Stopper</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-110257384054082402?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1102461938405996412004-12-07T15:23:00.000-08:002004-12-07T15:25:38.406-08:00I've been so busy, I haven't had time to post cool otter links I've found. Here's one to start out the holiday season: an otter ornament! I think it's pretty cute, and since it's not extremely Christmas-y, you can use it year-round. <br /> <br />LINK: <br /><a href="http://www.seaotters.org/Store/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Detail&Product=405&CatID=16">Otter Ornament</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-110246193840599641?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1098205157526066202004-10-19T09:50:00.000-07:002004-10-19T09:59:17.526-07:00I haven't read the book yet, but there's supposed to be an animated "Ollie the Otter" movie in the works.

I think otters actually carry around food in their cheeks when they want to hoard it. Anyway, I found this site that allows you to get a free designer purse! (Burberry, Coach, Prada, Kate Spade) <br /> <br />The only thing is that you have to refer 5 people to sign up as well. Any other otter and purse lovers out there? <br /> <br />LINK: <br /><a href="http://www.FreeHandbags.com/?r=10237295">Link to the free purse page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-109726032690139227?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1096670092044868842004-10-01T15:25:00.000-07:002004-10-01T15:34:52.043-07:00So, my profile picture is of the Asian small-clawed otter. They're the smallest kind of otter and are able to catch food with their hands instead of their mouth. They get to be up to 3 feet long, from nose to tip o' their tail, and don't weight that much either! <br /> <br />In contrast, the Giant Otter can get up to 6 feet in length and up to 70 pounds! They still have some of that otter cuteness, but it's hard to be cute when you're called a 'Sea Wolf'. <br /> <br />Falling in between in height, but not weight, is the cute Sea Otter. It can get to be a little over 5 feet in height, but weigh up to 100 pounds! This one probably resembles me the most in dimensions. <br /> <br />LINK: <br /><a href="http://www.giantotters.com">Learn more about Giant Otters</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-109667009204486884?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1095985737709303062004-09-23T17:21:00.000-07:002004-09-23T17:30:03.703-07:00According the the San Diego Zoo animal bytes page about otters: <br /> <br />"River otters eat mostly fish, frogs, crayfish, crabs, and mollusks, with an occasional small mammal or bird. Sea otters eat many of the same things, but mostly sea urchins, abalone, crabs, mussels, and clams, which they crack open against rocks they hold on their stomachs." <br /> <br />Hmmm.. frogs? No, thanks! I'd rather be a sea otter! <br /> <br />LINKS: <br /><a href="http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-otter.html">San Diego Zoo Otter Animal Byte</a> <br /><a href="http://www.kickassbbq.com/froglegs.html">Do these actually look good to you?</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-109598573770930306?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1095809286985726142004-09-21T16:21:00.000-07:002004-09-21T16:28:06.986-07:00On a recent trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I had the opportunity to sit around and watch their otters play for a while. They're really fun to watch because they're so lively and you can see the different personalities they have. For instance, there was a fat lazy otter, an otter that loved chasing the other otters, and an otter that hid in the corner to eat his food. <br /> <br />After I left the aquarium, I found a cute shirt that was a spoof of Harry Potter. It was titled 'Hairy Otter' and featured an otter with glasses and a lightning bolt on its forehead. A must-have if you enjoy corny puns. <br /> <br />Links: <br /><a href="http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/efc_fo/fo_ottr_cam.asp">Otter Cam at the Montery Bay Aquarium</a> <br /><a href="http://smtp3.thewwwstore.com/gall/294SS.htm">Hairy Otter Gear</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-109580928698572614?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344582.post-1095361093538092362004-09-16T11:48:00.000-07:002004-09-21T16:33:02.656-07:00I remember the first time I saw a picture of an otter was in Girl Scouts. It was 'Girl Scout Cookie Time!' and to pump us up to sell, sell, sell was the incentive list. The theme that year was otters, and I <em>needed</em> that otter plush toy. A whole 125 boxes later of Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties, and Tagalongs, it was mine... after convincing my dad to stock up the freezer with all my favorite Girl Scout cookies. <br /> <br />Links: <br /><a href="http://www.girlscoutcookiesabc.com/atc/">About Girl Scout Cookies</a> <br /><a href="http://search.ebay.com/girl-scout-cookies">Buy some on eBay..

As you can see <a href="http://webdisk.berkeley.edu/~leslie_hsu/"> here</a>, I didn't get very far doing it that way. With any luck, I'll be posting regularly! <br /> <br />Oh yeah, why otters? Because they're cute and, like my other page says, furry and fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8344582-109529523813999448?l=otters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>leskienoreply@blogger.com0
