Beautiful audubon-style illustrations and rakish prose bring the animals of Star Trek to life. In this compilation of the first 20 Space Otters posts, naturalists Octavio Briswald and Leonard Fitzmurdle travel the pre-federation galaxy, discovering strange new animals and occasionally eating them. Ever wondered how the Gorokian midwife toad got its name? How a 3,000 ton screech rhino moves? How the eel bird of Regulus V courts its mates? With wit, invention, and a splash of affectionate satire, Space Otters aims to seek out new life and new types of crustaceans; to boldly go where no webcomic has gone before.
