Aww. Are they native to the river or have they just moved in?

Can't wait to see otter gangs like in SG!

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 1 points 1 year ago

They just moved in! They're never here before

[-] dukeGR4 1 points 1 year ago

technically an invasive species, by right they should be taken away or they ruin the local habitat.

No, they are not. These otters are native to Malaysia. They only stay in rivers that are clean. Having these otters move to the Melaka river is a good sign the river is getting better.

Native to Malaysia doesn’t mean they’re native to that region no?

But if they’re actually native to the Melaka river, and are now returning it’s a whole different story however.

i went to look it up, apparently we should have 4 native species, though the side of Malaysia where Melaka is, it should be the smooth-coated ones like these bbs

We need turf war man.

Who would win :

Malacca otter vs Singkie otter

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
