In cause you have n’t heard , otters are sometimes   theworst .

permit ’s forget for a moment that they ’re knownpupnappers , serial killers , and necrophiliacs . Sure , they hold hands while they sleep . Yes , their cheeks are jot - worthy . And okay , who does n’t need to rock a sweet little pup to sleep ?

block it . They can still be absolutely savage creatures .

Do n’t conceive us ? Ask Sue Spector . The 77 - yr - older Florida woman who had to find stitch and a rabies discourse after being attacked by a wild river otter .

" It was very pristine and very nice , and I heard someone make a comment that , ' Oh , there ’s an otter ! ' " Spector told alocal television receiver station . " And then all of a sudden , he jump on the kayak , and two seconds later , he jump on me . "

Spector was kayak on Braden River near Sarasota , Florida , with her married man and 10   other mass when the animal began clawing , scratching , and biting her arm . Her boat eventually switch over , leaving her neck opening - deep in piss while still battling the critter .

It finally let go and the other kayakers had to keep it away while Spector was help back into her kayak .

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission isreportedlyinvestigating report of other kayakers injured by a river otter over the weekend , including two people who were attack and seize with teeth by a river otter about 1.2 kilometers ( 2   naut mi ) away .

It ’s in all likelihood this particular otter is rabid , considering most otter tend tosteer clearof humans .   The weasel was once abundant throughout North America , from Mexico to the Arctic Circle , but was hunted to near extinction from panoptic caparison , urbanization , and pollution throughout the 20th one C . Today , the jeopardise mammal isprotected .

otter have   also   been known to work havoc at menagerie .   A couple of otters at New York ’s Bronx Zoo went totally apeshit – er , ottershit ? – and drownedthis monkeyin a uncivilised act of revenge . These lilliputian creatures even   go so far as to kill one Montana family’sbeloved black lab .

Spectors has four more rabies treatment in her future tense . The otter , on the other hand , stay at large .
