Wildlife officials are trying to capture the otter using what appears to be a 'bait' surfboard, but she's outsmarted them so far.
Catching a sea otter that's been pilfering surfboards in Santa Cruz is turning out to be a tricky balancing act for wildlife experts who have been given the slip by the animal so far.
According to a tweet from Woodward on Wednesday, the bait board was one 841 had already damaged and was donated by the surfer.ever since she was spotted commandeering multiple surfers' boards in the area. The animal appears to have no fear of humans and even damages some boards with her teeth and jaws that are strong enough to break through clams.
"It was too obvious that guy was a cop," replied another user, referring to the apparent bait board and the efforts by wildlife officials to trick 841 into being captured. Despite the jokes, if wildlife officials don't wrangle her quickly, this could all end badly for 841.
