Sea otter leaves Kushiro River

Ku-chan the sea otter seems to have abandoned Kushiro:

According to Kushiro’s tourism office and other sources, the male sea otter, referred to as “Ku-chan,” was spotted near the Nusamai Bridge during the Golden Week holidays and was seen eating a horsehair crab on Thursday. However, Ku-chan disappeared on Friday and didn’t appear on Monday, exactly three months after he first appeared in the river in February.

Ku-chan’s decision to leave came just a few days after the city held a ceremony granting him special residency. The exact whereabouts of the ungrateful jerk are unknown, but some believe he may have moved to an area of coastline 150 kilometers away.

Shows up, gorges himself on media attention and self-publicity, then moves on to bigger and better things once the residency paperwork goes through. See it all the time.

Sad thing is he’ll probably end up doing pornos in a few years.

The otter has 14 days to report his change of address to the authorities, or risk up to 1 year in jail and a 200,000 yen fine.

The worst part is that horsehair crab Ku-chan ate was a just week away from getting its residency.
lovely

if he left the country did he get a re-entry visa – single or multiple? even with speical PR i think he may need one.

The horny little guy realized there were no hot girl otters in Kushiro and went on the hunt for some in greener pastures.

When I was at the Vancouver Aquarium I saw two cute little otters floating on their backs in the sun, holding hands (paws?). When I came back about an hour later, the girl otter was giving the boy otter what looked like “oral pleasure”!
True story!

He probably was just fed up with all the publicity.
