I have never smelled otter poop, but I would imagine it smells like the worst shit you could ever smell because they're eating seafood, like raw seafood, and that doesn't smell good.

So I don't think I ever want to smell it, but I've never smelled it, but I would imagine it's probably the worst thing you could smell.

Yeah.

Yeah, so I've done that a couple of times.

I was primarily trying to film their tool-using behavior so we could try to quantify the kinematics behind it.

So I mean, I call it, it's not really, I mean, I guess you could technically call it field work, but it's basically you go to the beach and you just have a little camping chair, set up the camera and just hang out there until you see an otter that's close enough to start filming or take photos of it.

And like, it's California.

So it's like what, a nice 70 degree sunny day,

can't complain.

Yeah.

So it's not, yeah.

Yeah.

It's obviously very rough field work.

No, I usually go with the chocolate croissant.

It makes sense.

Okay, well then good.

It's called that now.

Yeah, if we all just start using that, it'll eventually catch on, I think.

No, they're definitely waterproof.

They can get wet.
