Does Not Illustrate: Playful Otter

It illustrates otters, but not the playful part. I can't think of any images offhand that illustrate the playful part.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested as well.

What they said.

A few GIS results for "otters playing" (some will have to be resized, of course):

[1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊ [5]◊

It shows otters, and they look like fun.

K.U.B.I.S.

I don't think any of those are clearer than the current.

I think we need an otter with a ball or something.

I get a 404 on 4 and 5 is watermarked. I would be impossible to see the watermark after a resize but copyright(?).

5 doesn't seem like a copyright watermark, but even if it isn't, it's quite pixelated.

to all the ones in 5.

Whether or not you can see a watermark (or if it's removed, or if there is a version of the same image without one) is not relevant. Just like if you know something is copyrighted, you shouldn't use it, regardless of whether that is clearly marked anywhere.

Also, the images in #5 are not from a work, which I don't think disqualifies them but IMO it is a strike against.

I am in favor of keeping current picture. I believe it illustrates this trope rather well.

5.1 and 5.2, 3 and 5, and I can't get 4 to load.

Bump...any other thoughts?

PB&J Otter is a show about a family of otters - I'm sure I can find a pic of them being reasonably playful. I'll see what I can do...

Bump...with no consensus on the current suggestions and several votes for Keep Until Better Image Suggested, another vote or two for that and we can close this up, unless someone's got another suggestion.

I don't know if this really shows playful. But it's funny.

My watermelon is full of herring◊

Im fine with the current one.

These guys◊ look pretty playful.

I still prefer the current.

Same.

+1 for current.

Clock is set.
