I don't think otters' feet look like that

Even if that is what they technically look like most people are not otter experts, try giving it less acurate but more fitting feet. Ones that are much smaller.

I think his feet are fine, and the angle of the tail helps keep him afloat.
Anatomic inaccuracy is worse than people not actually knowing what an otter's feet look like.
I like how he's scratching.

My grandma used to tell me that she wanted to be reincarnated as an otter. I don't think she'd smoke cigars though. J'aime because it reminds me of gramma.

Also, looking at the picture, i think i'd like it better if the otter was at the bottom of the shirt.

Really cool. I'm distracted by the feet. In the photograph you provided it looked like the feet are covered by fur, and so shouldn't they be the same color as the rest of the otter?

Micky Mouse wears white gloves and shoes does it really make a diffrence? Otters don't smoke either (at least the ones I've seen) it really is just what it is , like it or don't like.
I do enjoy all the comments,
Thanks

I agree with quoperate. I looked at the picture too and searched
by way of Google's Image branch and found these cute photos too:

The feet should match the color of the fur.

Also I would like to see only the part of the otter that is above the
water line. I think this would do more to give the appearance of
the otter floating in liquid rather than air.

Wow...alot of people have problems with this shirt. I agree though, being outdoorsy, I think the feet look like platypus or beaver feet and not otter feet. Love the idea though. Would buy with new feet...hes supercool.

I think it looks like he's floating on wisps of cloud. i'd rather even have him laying on a floor than this, but I'd buy it, and wear it to work too. $5

I love it! I think leave it as is.
P.S. Helo, that otter looking in the window is possibly the most adorable thing I have seen! Looks like a little ewok!

Hey- fun shirt. to be a wildlife nerd...I think the thing that might be most distracting is that it has the float (lying on it's back to crask shells) and feet of a marine otter, but the longer lean body and tail of a river otter. But only other wildlife nerds would know that, so I still love it!
