But why must the majestic predator be the only animal with its own dedicated week? Where is Bear Week? (Wherever people like big bearded dudes I guess.) Whale Week? Eagle Week, sponsored by The Colbert Report? (Since Stephen will most definitely not be endorsing Bear Week.) Most importantly, Where is Otter Week?
I want Otter Week! Aaah! Not convinced? How about a viral classic?
Or this?
How about these rare white otters? I didn’t know there was such a thing — probably because I was unable to learn about it during Otter Week.
I also never learned about otter swimming lessons:
Your turn, PopWatchers. Pick a creature. What week do you want to see?








Meerkat Week!
Sharks have a week dedicated to Chuck Norris.
He’s the most interesting man in the world?
I would watch Otter Week. I would watch Otter month!
Maybe it’s just me, but half the fun of Shark Week is seeing devour things. Otters are cute, though.
You have clearly never seen an otter tear into their food — just do a search for “otter eating a caiman”.
I’m all for otter month!
I LOVE otters! I would totally watch a week dedicated to them!
I’m with you! Why are sharks so special? They should spotlight other animals as well. I’ve grown tired of the Shark Week programs as they’re very similar every year.
River otters are extraordinarily cute as well, don’t forget them!
I love river otters. They are “otterly” adorable!
Otters are awfully cute, but I vote TIGER week! Grrr…
Lion week, they can show the Lion King!
We at ZooBorns have heard your call and are looking into what we might be able to do about it…
