This otter is said to be aggressive towards surfers and is sometimes even able to steal their boards. This is why the animal is officially hunted by the Californian authorities, who want to put an end to the actions of this otter, of which we know more thanks to several videos posted on social networks.
It would indeed be a 5-year-old female who would have realized her first misdeeds at the end of June. Day by day, this otter is becoming more and more daring and aggressive. In a video posted to Twitter on Monday, the sea otter can be seen climbing onto the board of a panicked surfer who tries unsuccessfully to flip his longboard over to resist him. Nothing to scare the mammal clings and begins to bite the foam object.
To end the female otter’s reign of terror, “a team […] trained in the capture and handling of sea otters, was deployed in an attempt to capture and relocate it elsewhere,” the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife said. And this, “due to the growing risk to public safety”.
