Otters secrete thick oils in their fur that help them to be more hydrodynamic and water resistant. Without some kind of cleaning regime, they would like sloths grow plant matter in their persistently moist fur. Whether it be algae, fungi, moss, or other kinds of small plants.
The tree has a circle of absence around it in part because the tree excretes an herbicidal resin; this is a common property of trees particularly conifers.
The otters are rolling around in the dirt around the tree to clean themselves of microscopic insects with the coarse silicone (like with diatomaceous earth) and to coat themselves in herbicidal resins to keep them from growing things.
But… How do they know this
Tree smells good
fool, clearly the tree grows otters that fall off and wiggle around once theyre ripe
These comics that I’m posting were all done earlier this year and when they didn’t get a lot of response I just deleted them. Now I’m redoing them, but I’m drawing them for me, to show my own progression as an artist. Also, I like puns.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
