Otter Attacks and Injures 3 Women on an Inflatable on a Popular Montana River

In the News

This was definitely no Tarka

The last thing anyone would expect when using an inflatable on a popular river is to be attacked by an otter

You could understand if it was in Africa or the likes and it was a crocodile for example

But to be attacked by an otter is so unusual, they are normally shy creatures , and this attack is the first i have heard of

The injuries look quite bad, mainly deep scratches and bites , the women said they feared for their lives

My biggest fear would be rabies , there is no mention of it in the article or if they had injections

telmel I have noticed that. A couple of times the screen just stayed blank so I came out and went back in. Also lots of comps I had entered did not disappear when I refreshed but remained without the entered in green banner.

Well clearly it felt scared could have had issues with other humans before or the babies were close by

Leannexxx Yes it could be that or a territory thing , but protecting the young is a strong possibility

Leannexxx that doesn't explain those in the second link, they look menacing and all adult. Very scary and seem to know exactly what they are doing.

Quite scary that.Not something you'd typically expect from otters at all.

Leannexxx I dont think the child was in their environment L , it says the mother and child were walking on a dock when the otter jumped out of the water and dragged the child in , a bit like a crocodile would do , have never heard of this happening before
