Is this the Japanese River Otter?

[NorthwestRider]

The Japanese River Otter was said to be extinct since the 1970s, however they caught one on video in 2017. The first river otter to be seen in Japan since the late 1970s. Otters are very cute by the way

They always find species that they thought were extinct like the tortoise they found last year in the Galapagos

Have you seen that "extinct or alive" animal planet show? Also Watch the guy Forrest Galante on the joe Rogan podcast. There is 2 podcasts, one before the second season was shot and one after. Fucking awesome shit if you are getting a buzz from this otter picture.

*Looking back up* that is the guy who found that Galapagos tortoise.

[NorthwestRider]

Yeah I watch Extinct or Alive, love that show. He should look for the Japanese River Otter along with the Japanese Wolf. Also, the Mexican Grizzly bear, the Chinese Paddlefish, and the Baiji

He also found the Zanzibar Leopard, the Pondicherry shark, the Miller's grizzled langur, and the Rio Apaporis caiman

I think he talks about the Grizzly bear in the second joe Rogan podcast. My favorite part of the first podcast was him talking about getting ready to head out for the Galapagos that he will end up finding the tortoise. Second favorite was about looking into a pocket of mountains that could hold the giant sloth. Carve out some time to watch those podcasts on YouTube really really good shit. 1240 and 1403 episode numbers.
