Let's talk about a third otter

Well, if we'd get a new otter it probably will be for the "clone" spot. And I can't really see a sea otter, which probably would need a whole new rig, getting this spot, at least if it shouldn't end as with the black rhino. So Eurasian otter would be fine for me, but I wouldn't really need it.
Marine Otter instead?
If they are even kept in any Zoos nowadays

Is this species being kept by any zoo?
I think the spot we are missing is an otter from Temperate climate, which can be occupied by the marine otter, but still, I somehow think that NA river or Eurasian would be better options. The neotropical otter could also fit in the clone spot, but would take a similar spot to the giant otter, the smooth-coated the spot of the Asian small-clawed, and the African otters are basically gone from Western zoos (with the exception of Eurasian, of course).
So, my preference is still Eurasian.
sea otter could easily star a pack and get its own modified rig i think
Sea Otters could also get amazing Enrichment like Kelp and Clams and Rocks
I would be annoyed cause sea otter is cooler.
Honestly I still think we need the sea otter, one of the more popular species that would work in game that we don't have yet. They'd be very different from the other otters we have currently and would be great for colder areas too.
Even though I don't think it is necessary per se, I would like a more typical "normal-sized" otter considering we currently have the biggest and smallest (with sea otter being in a league of its own really if it was added because of how different is is). As for which species, I'm not sure... I'm torn between the Eurasian Otter since its so common and would be nice for temperate zoos and the Smooth-Coated Otter as I think it would be cool to make a Ganges Delta habitat for them with fishing boats and such... Honestly why not just give us a bunch of otters I don't think I'd complain.

Sea Otter is definitely a species we should get
I wouldn’t mind a sea otter but I could live without it also. I used to wish for the North American river otter which obviously is extremely popular here in US zoos but now I could do without. Every other species seems to much like a clone animal. In terms of clones with visual differences of course as very few animals are truly a one to one clone I’d rather have a Sumatran tiger, asiatic lion, zebra, giraffe, or Nile crocodile. But everyone’s clone type animals vary.
I want the sea otter so bad
we already have two river otters, so i am thinking a sea otter habitat will probably be more unique to make
but slides would be very fun to play with and build for all otter species, but i don't think a third river otter should be a prerequisite for it
although i wouldn't mind a na or eu river otter as an anniversary animal or later dlc animal (like a few years later if support continues)
When I last posted on this thread, I said if we got content into 2023 I'd be interested in a third otter. I still am, as I think a non-tropical otter would allow for a biome variety - Eurasian or North American River Otters in particular. Though when planning out thoughts on pack ideas for just 2 or even 4 pack, I don't really have a place marked for another otter.
Still, I wouldn't be opposed to a non-tropical otter. I guess it's kind of like the penguins for me where I'd still want the Little Blue Penguin. Great to get, but definitely not necessary and not even a priority.

To me, sea otter will do and I think there's enough freshwater soecies (which were the rest of the otter species) to me. Now's to expect a third penguin species.
Sea otter is a very cute animal, would be a great addition, got the two other otters in the zoo I am working on.
And to answer someone above, they are kept in some Zoo

Sea otter
Enhydra lutrisSea otters live in the nearshore marine ecosystem. They do most of their foraging within about half a mile of shore. Both northern and southern sea otters once inhabited the Oregon coast.

Southern Sea Otter - Detroit Zoo
At the Detroit Zoo The Arctic Ring of Life is home to two southern sea otters, Monte and Finn, who were rescued at different times along the California coast. The otters can be viewed inside the Arctic Ring of Life habitat. While viewing the sea otters from the underwater tunnels, guests may see...
