Caribbean Death Otter


Oh - I'd be quite remiss if I didn't post my Caribbean Death Otter. He's mean, he's fierce, and he can carry massive amounts of ordnance upstream to the target(s) of your choice. This otter has been there: The Bay of Pigs in 1961, The Battle of Bình Gia in 1965, Beirut 1975, Kabul in 1989, Baghdad in 1993, Somalia in 1998, New York City in 2001, etc. I cannot divulge his current whereabouts...


...but let's just say that Venezuelan crude is about to get much much cheaper and Iran is going to discover the internet.

Just kidding (to the NSA spooks reading this). This guy was a poor old river otter taxidermied way back in the late 1950's, and resided in the hallowed halls of the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife for many years, up until someone decided that dead, stuffed animals did not resonate with the image that the Department wanted to convey. Another trash can rescue ensued...
