Sea otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift apart, a behavior known as rafting.

SELECT *

OTTER JOIN otter2
USING (hands)
@i0null @wonderofscience Thanks - I always struggle with my OTTER JOIN statements! ;)
@i0null what language is that?
@celrydoor SEA-QL
@i0null this is the first time I hear of it! I can't find much info on it exactly but I assume it's a variant on Sea?
@celrydoor it's like SQL but with manatees 
@wonderofscience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DPNtHsYqoY is an anime-style description of part of how otters' environment had shaped them.

@wonderofscience They're also psychopathic baby (otter) killers.
@ElBeeToots @wonderofscience We should share some more "fun" otter facts.

@themastodoning @wonderofscience We wouldn't want to make people depressed, now do we?

😏

@ElBeeToots @wonderofscience Idk our current mental health system says otherwise.

Edit: I'm in the US so....
extra extra edit: I got confused and thought your comment was on another chain I'm in😅

@wonderofscience

I live about six blocks away from these guys, have an Aquarium membership. Rialto is the guy on the right, and I have the Rialto pandemic face mask.

Think they look cute?

Do some reading-they are nasty even vicious little bastards.

How amazing indeed, don’t we all want to feel safe andnot drift apart? @wonderofscience
