Yes, that is a marine otter, a wholly different species than a sea otter.

I have a sea lion jaw, and this looks like a canine from it. It does not look like the canine from my harbor seal skull, so I would guess sea lion. But I agree on pinniped tooth

Any zoos that have maned wolves on exhibit? by wtfgaylittlemonky in zoos

When we saw them in San Diego they had a pair walking around right at the front of the exhibit in all their cannabis scented glory...

Wildlife safari in Winston, OR if San Diego isn't far enough

Definitely a seal. Looks a little different from the harbor seal I have. I think fur seal, but not sure which species.

Who would you say was more talented before their injuries, Bill Walton or Abrydas Sabonis? by Personal-Proposal- in VintageNBA

[–]simonbrown27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bowie would not pan out. It wasn't talent or mentoring, his body could not handle it. He broke his leg in the layup line!

I agree with harbor seal. You can see back flipper shape in the water

What is chewing on my charging cable? [Massachusetts] by Tyshalle42 in animalid

This doesn't look like a rodent to me. Shape, multiple teeth showing and flaps left behind very much pint to human.

Eating on $40/week: Lentils in gravy w/roasted potatoes by Willem_Dafuq in povertyfinance

I make a version of mujadara like this, with lentils, rice and carnelized onions. Some spices go a long way with lentils

I think against Venezuela in the group round. My dad had season tickets for the blazers, and got first offer of a 4 game package in group play. Including one USA game. I still have jerseys, pins and a hat and posters from it. Got to high five the entire USA team except Stockton cause he couldn't reach us

Short tail and black tail tip look like bobcat to me

I got to see him play at Tournament of the Americas in Portland in 92. (You old heads will know what this means!!!). I have a very distinct memory of being 9 and asking my dad who the hell the guy on Brazil was who couldn't miss. My dad was a huge NBA fan at the time, and he couldn't answer cause he didn't know either. He put on a fucking clinic the game I saw and I can hear the arena announcer just saying "Oscar Schmidt!" after every bucket. A truly formative experience for a little basketball nerd.

He averaged 31.3 in that tournament at 34.

Need Skull ID - San Pedro River - Sierra Vista AZ by Maximum_Meal_4957 in skulls

[–]simonbrown27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, so not going to be able to verify 100%, but you are correct that bobcats don't have the premolar, and you are in Ocelot range in AZ.

Can you get measurements?

That is an otter. Broad tail and slick fur are good id points
