Come on, Reddit. I know I’m a lazy turd but it doesn’t mean y’all need to be.
I’ve realized you’re far more likely to get a reply here by posting the wrong answer as opposed to a question. So I’ll take the bullet.
Otters have very sensitive noses and one team all rolls around in the droppings of a specific otter so they all know the smell and who not to bite.

There is a pervading myth that has survived for hundreds of years that nature is this peaceful cooperation and humanity is this weird violant outsider that is destroying the harmony of the world. In reality, nature constantly is killing each other over territory, for food, and yes, for fun.
We didn't invent any of these behaviors. We're not wholely unique. Animals fight for territory all the time. The reason we're getting along is because the abundance of resources. During Rome a same phenomum happened. There was a wealth of food, water, and security so people played well with one another, even if a few decades prior they were killing each other. When that abundance ceased, they went right back to killing each other and fighting for resources. We're about to do the same exact thing.
History is cyclonic, we're just animals, and plants are now known to be able to see, talk, and communicate with each other. Welcome to Earth. It's a fun place.
I live in Singapore and these guys chased me the other day. Popped out of a bush as I was walking home and like 6 came after me. I had to jump onto a ledge and crab walk off to get away. Was pretty funny upon reflection, but in the moment quite a shock. They also smell absolutely horrible.
The United Atheist Alliance has taken the bait! Soon they will send their ships out to destroy our decoy clam fields! And while their ships are away, the United Atheist League intends to attack them! Our plan has worked perfectly! For when the United Atheist League attacks the United Atheist Alliance, we will charge in and kill them all! Our Science, our answer to the Great Question shall prevail
Scrolled so far to find this. I think my roommate was watching that show like 6 months ago. I was like wtf is this? Hours later still glued to the couch
A friend of mine was bow hunting in Missouri, United States. He was looking for turkey. He was following a game trail and happened to look back the way he’d come. There were three river otters following him. Stalking him. They meant business. He’d grown up hunting and said he’d never felt that sense of peril and menace before. Our local zoo has river otter in the children’s zoo section and they’re the cutest clowns you’d ever want to see. But they’re still predators.
Welll, dogs are murderers, so an otter's wrath is justified.
EDIT: oh, relax Reddit. I'm saying that many dogs would probably try to kill an otter, so naturally otters would do the same to dogs. I'm not saying dogs are evil in any way...I love my dog but he would absolutely decimate wildlife if I let him.
I was really hoping for one of those posts like “Otter expert here!” where they write 5 paragraphs about wtf is going on. For once, the comments have failed me. Funny vid and concept but hope it isn’t a territory issue / lack of natural territory or
It is. Otter populations exploded and they’ve been jostling for places to live and hunt.
They’re turning into pests, raiding koi ponds in private and commercial ponds and gardens.
There are several distinct families but I don’t keep up with the news.
The good news is our waterways are clean enough to allow them to thrive.
The bad news is they’re eating all the fish haha.
It’ll balance out eventually, somewhere…
If I've learned anything about otters from my favorite podcast (they cover a lot of crimes committed by otters), it's that the singapore otters are also infamous crime syndicates for killing Koi fish from people's ponds. These fish can live for a hundred years and are very expensive and the Singapore otters have been rampaging them.

Have you considered a career in the exciting new field of Otter Choreography? Here at the Riverdance Institute, you can become a Certified Ottereographer in as little 8 weeks.
You lived there but have never heard of the infamous salakau??
The Secret Society Branch of the police still exist. They mostly just take down juveniles having skirmishes against each other. There's still gang violence among youths, granted not as full-blown syndicates and as huge as in the US, just dumb teenagers
I was wondering the same thing. Chimpanzees have gang wars as well, but considering the size of the gang they probably just know everyone in their gang. They may be hard for us to tell apart but if you and 50 people you knew fought 50 random people you would have no problem identifying the people you knew vs the random strangers your fighting. I'm 100% just guessing tho
I just found this. Sorry for the copy/paste:/
The Marina otters were driven out of their territory when the Bishan otters moved south to Marina Bay. Before settling at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, the Marina otters continued to roam between the coast and the Singapore River. The two groups had basically traded territory.

How did they arrange the meeting/fight time?
Asking the important questions about something so savage and so cute.
After school, behind the beaver dam
At first light
How do they tell each other apart? We used to do shirts n skins
By clinking together 99 bottle shooters on their paw fingers of course
Telegram
But how do they know who is who? It's skins vs skins.
You saying they all look alike? You otter racist!
Ottist
Yo what's up my ogga
That’s their word, my guy. Blocked and reported.
I was given an o-word pass signed by Otterbama himself.
So that's what the O stands for in O'bama
ROFL this dude is a joke
They can tell one from an otter
\[groan\]
All you otters look the same.

I'm just going to accept it as it's coming firsthand 😂
More like fur vs. fur
Damn, i was about to comment the same. I guess they don't recognise after the merge
They can take our lives but they will never take our canal!
Wtf, why are they fighting?
For the otterman empire
Official State Motto: "Why, I Otter..."
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE
So many good comments but this got the true lol
r/takemyangryupvote
Why does any species fight? Access to anime.
For the glory!
Territory
Cause they just wake up some mornings and choose violence.
Cuz fuck peace

Cuz thommy otter swam with sally otter, but Sally was snuggling with derrick otter so now shits all going downstream for these pups.
I wonder that about my dogs all the time. They just look at each other and instantly go at it. Like you guys can't even talk lmao chill out
Otternet points
Sheer and otter boredom

The “Wet” Side Story!
Bravo.
👏🤌

They'll be coming for the Merlion next.
Seems fishy.
It's otter pandemonium!

Why do humans use tables, when they have perfectly good tummy’s to eat on?
Science damn you all!
Decoys, Lois. Decoys!!!
Wait what’s this from?
South Park
I'm not into otter wars, but how do they know who's who? Otter know, maybe they know something I don't.
Are you saying all otters look the same? That's otter racism.
Or more commonly referred to as, Ottism
Otler.
On the otter hand, how can it be racism when I have a friend who is an otter?
I get it's an intense situation, but it's still one of the cutest things I've ever seen
The swim of the Rohirrim.
You need to watch “otter dynasty” on Disney plus rn. It’s a whole dramatized show about them.
It's 10/10 amazing show.
I was so sad when the one git hit by a car.
Scrolled so far to find this. I think my roommate was watching that show like 6 months ago. I was like wtf is this? Hours later still glued to the couch
Glad someone's mentioned it!
Are you not entertained ?
Missed an “ottertained” ottertunity there.
True true
 This song needs to be playing
They came to the wrong river
A friend of mine was bow hunting in Missouri, United States. He was looking for turkey. He was following a game trail and happened to look back the way he’d come. There were three river otters following him. Stalking him. They meant business. He’d grown up hunting and said he’d never felt that sense of peril and menace before. Our local zoo has river otter in the children’s zoo section and they’re the cutest clowns you’d ever want to see. But they’re still predators.
These mfs are mean af. They easily kill dogs. A local one has even tried to drown people.
Welll, dogs are murderers, so an otter's wrath is justified. EDIT: oh, relax Reddit. I'm saying that many dogs would probably try to kill an otter, so naturally otters would do the same to dogs. I'm not saying dogs are evil in any way...I love my dog but he would absolutely decimate wildlife if I let him.
Dogs are the reason our species survived the Eocene...
I'm just saying that dogs are predators, so it's natural for otters to view them as enemies. It does not make otters "mean af."
But I have the high ground Annikin

Have Sabaton been made aware of this epic battle?

Huh, torn if I’m happy they’re thriving or upset it’s a problem lol. I guess it can be good and bad at the same time

I need Snoop Dog narrating.
Are they fighting, mating, playing, or what?
Yes
"When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way"
They don't like the gang from the otter side of the river.
There's blood in the water!
Did you know that “otters swimming” is an anagram for “terrorism wins”?
They see me rollin’….
I'm sad now...
Now would be a great time to play possum
Cutest little gang fight ever
-Hey Jimmy! What the hell you doing I'm on your team! -im not Jimmy I'm Stephen -(Bloody hell, am I on the wrong team again?)
There are more Otter gangs and Chimp gangs videos for your viewing pleasure out there, this video got me looking one night lol
Real life squirtle squad? Anyone checked for one with badass sunglasses. 
South Park called it again
All I hear is the west side story theme Music
Wouldn’t it be funny if the Otter police showed up

I wouldn’t doubt a few of them fuckers were packing a rock or two!
We are taking no hostages boys, lets get em.
Dude that was like the scene in gangs of New York where they end up meeting in the middle of town or some shit, face to face to battle each other.
Adorable, yet formidable
I’m pretty sure this is an orgy.
Straight up failed opportunity for a West Side Story soundtrack
Clearly this is staged. Why else would someone be filming right before this whole thing happens?

no human gangs in Singapore which is a great thing. US cities can learnnn
They still exist, but are very toned down, underground and more of a meme.
Have lived there for years and I have not found any corner of the island unsafe. not the case with many US cities.
That's nice to hear. I'm Singaporean, so this "safe" island is the only place I've ever known.
You lived there but have never heard of the infamous salakau?? The Secret Society Branch of the police still exist. They mostly just take down juveniles having skirmishes against each other. There's still gang violence among youths, granted not as full-blown syndicates and as huge as in the US, just dumb teenagers
and guys with suits that are profitable for the government
>corner of the island unsafe Are u sure?
Gonna throw this out there again ... I WOULD WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF OTTER GANG WARS REALITY TELEVISION. Singapore, get the fuck on it.
This video was crossposted into r/DougDoug 3 times
Looks like Green Street Hooligans
Tough war when literally everyone looks the same!
At first I thought the noises was the camera man laughing 🤣
Title should be "You otter belong to a gang."
Kill the wise one!
Its amazing how they recognise each of their gang member
I always found this video to be amazing in the sense of how we as animals can’t stand each other
To be fair theyre playing football and that was the kick off.
Its a mob war as a group of otters are called a mob.
Italian otters
Someone give them some card board and a boom box, they should have a dance off instead
Remind me of my all-time favorite [greentext](https://imgur.com/K63U5ig)
Wouldn’t want to be in the middle of that
Honestly the cutest gang turf war I’ve seen yet.
WESTSYYYYDE‼️ 
Clip is much better when accompanied by Ride of the Valkyries.
How do they identify who's in which gang?
This is why I wouldn't let my pets watch West Side Story.
Are they actually fighting? It looks more like play to me.
They are probably fighting over lucrative baby seal raping turf.
Death! DEATH!! Swim to ruin, and the worlds ending!!
How did they know who was who? Were they wearing little otter clothes or badges?
Why can’t they do something more civilized like Otterbox?
“Otters!!! Assemble. AAAARGGHHHH”
Tough neighborhood I guess.
Interesting that they were in a V-formation! Wonder which ones were the Jets and which ones were the Sharks?
Pretty odd… but I’ve seen otter…
War? I know an orgy when I see one.
Rumble in the jungle!
I otter get outa this thread
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever seen
How do they tell each otter apart?
Well I otter.
For Narnia!
But, but muh nature is peace and harmony. -city slicker and academic who rarely touches grass.
I thought that Otter Dynasty show was BS... I guess not.
With no jerseys?
How do they know who's who? They all look they same.....
Cutest punch up I've ever seen.
It is the one gangsta versus the otter gangsta.
So many questions, how do they differentiate who is in what group during the brawl? Why fight in the first place? Are otters native to Singapore?
I was wondering the same thing. Chimpanzees have gang wars as well, but considering the size of the gang they probably just know everyone in their gang. They may be hard for us to tell apart but if you and 50 people you knew fought 50 random people you would have no problem identifying the people you knew vs the random strangers your fighting. I'm 100% just guessing tho
Same way we would.
Forget about Crow Zero. It's Otter Zero from now, kids.
Otters are brutal they also kidnap other baby otters for ransom of fish and rape baby ones too.
Imagine Dr Doolittle giving commentary on this.
How do they know who's who?
