Grand Theft Otter! 🦦 Wildlife officials are looking to capture and re-home this forceful female otter that has repeatedly approached surfers and kayakers. Here's why one invested photographer says this is abnormal behavior.
This was Lee's fourth time surfing. He said the five-minute encounter felt like an hour.
"I was a bit scared and especially after talking about how they have really strong jaws. I knew I had no chance against her if she started attacking me," Lee said. On Wednesday afternoon locals and people from out of town were enthralled to see the otter so close off the shore. You could hear her crack shells as she ate."I was just walking around today and saw all the reporters and I was like- there's no way that this is the infamous otter but - here she is," Coxon said.A spokesperson for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife says as long as conditions are favorable they'll attempt to capture her.
"People are like, 'Just leave it alone, let it be you guys are in its way it's doing its normal thing.' Truth of the matter is it is not normal," Woodward said."I'm kind of involved in it now and I want to see how it turns out at this point," Woodward said.
