Someone started to watch the old Ultraman and already lost control T_T
Dedicated to the forever friendship between Star Trek and Ultraman fans 🌟

You are owed much gratitude for reviving obscure but significant culture icons!
This heroic placement of the character is very true
to the show, which tends to be outdoors and operating
on a large scale, same as most other tokusatsu titles!
Very dramatic and optimistic!
Love the otter design, too, with the webbed feet and the subtle coat color shifts!

Yey, thanks!
But the fun fact is: Ultraman is far for obscure in Brazil. I didn't watch it, but it was a pop icon for people born like 10-20 years before me. A generation or even half of it, I guess. And even me always knew the thing by name. So curious.
And yeah, the heroic pose over a somewhat grayish sky is a must on these shows!
I'm glad you liked the otterokay, I'll say, Hayata is very CUTE >_<, thanks! Having Ultraman that crest/fin, and being his design kinda fish-like, I think I'll be using semi-aquatic mammals for Ultraman hosts =)

Ultraman suit is very aquatic-looking, indeed! Ultras come from space,
and space is ocean, so it all makes sense!
It is generally cool to bring back old shows like this,
especially if they are meaningful for you.
And yes, Hayata is cute, and so are the river otters!
The giant otters of Amazon that you have locally look a lot scarier and mighty,
but are still wonderful agile and chaotic river noodles!

We have a little joke in my house - like Moomins throw their problems in the sea (it's a common trope in their anime and the comics), Ultraman throw some monsters in space :D Very convenient :D
Giant otters are fantastic! No wonder they are sometimes also called "lobo-do-rio" (river wolf), and the most usual name in Portuguese is "ariranha", that comes from Old Tupi and means, behold, WATER JAGUAR.

Giant otters are fierce, aye!
Although, "water jaguar" sounds a bit redundant, like "spotted jaguar", or "killer kitty jaguar".
The Latin binominals are hardly better, of course, with lots and lots
of silly or violently boring names
for really cool creatures.
Your house has some amazing and unique jokes!
Oh, and I've found an English dub of the 1978 Soviet stop motion Moomin film!

That's true, jaguars really stay around water! Maybe the giant otter so will me an "'even more water' jaguar"
It reminds me that Linnaeus himself classified tapirs and hippos both as Hippopotamus, but hippo as H. amphibius and lowland tapis as H. terrestris; that's why until today the tapir is Tapirus terrestris. You know, these rules of precedence. And even considering tapirs like water too, like, a lot...
Probably I mentioned hippos because in a Moomin comics/anime, they were taken as hippos by the zoo staff :D it was a very fun scene because specially Moominpappa was outraged by the idea :D. To be fair, at the first sight Moomins were weird horses to me...
And thanks for the stop motion link! I started to watch it, it is delightful (even has pears :D), but I'll be surely watching it in big screen with some popcorn! It deserves it!

Thank you for sharing that bit of fauna-naming history, it is hilarious!
Hippopotamus amphibius means "amphibious river horse"
and H. terrestris is "land river horse" – brilliant!
Moomins do look like hippos, or capybaras, tapirs
or something large-nosed and probably aquatic!
Hurray for Water Water Jaguars! It sounds like an ancient Mexican name!

Thank you for sharing the capy-Moomins with me in the future!
Tapirs really look like someone's weird passion project creature.
"Just you wait! I'll make my elephant-boar-horse-sheep hybrid work underwater yet!!!"
It is only fitting that tapirs should be considered the perfectly normal standard
by which all other similar animals are measured!

Found the capy-Moomins!
"It is only fitting that tapirs should be considered the perfectly normal standard

No, genus Tapirus itself is around since mid-Miocene like. Almost 10 million years ago! Of course they are a golden standard, at least for perissodactyls (tapirs, horses, rhinos).

Woohoo! Muito obrigado!
Snork Maiden is so dainty and delicate, she looks like an agouti!
Thank you for the lesson in paleontology and phylogeny!
My knowledge of and respect for the tapirs has grown
considerably! So many great species from the recent
ages we could have shared the planet with!
The aurochs,
the thylacines,
the megatheriums,
the wooly mammoths...
We should treasure the last of those generations,
especially the African megafauna, above everything else.

That's true what you said about Snork Maiden! Nice design!
I really love all these creatures mentioned, I would add the Megaloceros too (it is the species for my furry!O'Brien because I love both )... there are so many of them even depicted in art. It's... I don't know the word to describe what I feel. Awe? But the thylacine has even short films! It's scary almost!
Have you ever considered that, when Titanic sank, thylacines were still around?...

Yes, Megaloceros is a legend! Wearing an entire biome as a hat!
The surviving mighty moose is still very impressive, though.
And I love your O'Brien a whole lot!
More than a hero – a union deer!
Yes, it is a horrible crime
that we couldn't keep thylacines, dodos and sea cows alive,
they could have been so well protected and carefully
bred back to sustainability...
Good thing the American bison was saved,
after having nearly been hunted to extinction
by the settlers. We have a sanctuary near where I live
where they used to breed American/European bison hybrids,
and still have a small herd. They are amazing up close!
