Apparently they are both threatened with extinction. Well, according to this article by the Wall Street Journal. Ouch.

Yellow-page extinction doesn’t surprise me at all, but sea otters?? I had no idea! I thought those little guys were plentiful!

I didn’t either, but my research today tells me they are on the threatened list. Poor cute little otters. I want one.

I was considering this for gifts this year for xmas. Is that lame?

Yellow page extinction doesn’t surprise me either. I recently wrote a paper on the evolution of classified advertising. Based on my research, yellow pages going bust may only be the tip of the iceberg!

Nah Steph I think it’s a cool idea. I’ve done it before. In fact, we should adopt a TPI otter this Christmas. He can be our mascot!

I saw a dead otter in Creve Coeur Lake once. If those things drink the water in the MO River, that will ensure their demise.
