Gang of wild otters mauls jogger
(www.telegraph.co.uk)
Locals, prepare for otter devastation!
slick dark hair
50s greaser gang?
And what causes this behavior?
She is part of a planning committee trying to tear down some old abbey.
Looks like the park was fenced off (I assume they've built in their native habitat) and the otters managed to get through the broken fence. They we either hungry or got territorial.
It's more painful if it was lions. Like if a lion is attacking you and then an otter lion shows up you're screwed.
Weasels ripped my flesh!
Now I'm sitting here on the toilet wondering how many otters I could take on...
That lady handled 40, but she's a jogger and in better shape than me. I could take 25.
She lost to 8 bro, you'd get ripped to shreds
Oh shit I read it wrong, she's 40 years old.
Yeah so like 5
You can easily out run them, so you don't actually need to fight.
But if you did, I don't think you can take on more then two without any professional fighting skills.
And as you sit there deep in thought you feel something tickle your nethers, you think little of it at first but as soon as you feel it again you shift your position and look down. At the same moment your mind comprehends that it's the hand of an otter, that very hand grabs ahold of your dangling valuables and pulls. You are never seen again.
I read this in the Baldur's Gate 3 narrator voice.
how many otters I can take
😏
on

There’s a whole “otter space” joke amongst furries.
Would you rather take on 30 otter-sized horses, or one horse-sized otter?
Horses. They're built like birds.
Atleast 0.5
Wow, talk about some blatant dog whistling here...
Inner-city otters? Why not just call them musteld hoodlums? Or shrimp theiving thugs?
How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article...

Ok, that's fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren't known to frequent the tropics.
Probably because people like you make them feel unwelcome.
Did you ever stop and think that if you made them feel comfortable, that they might visit more often?
I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don't want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.
Looks like the animal kingdom is getting fed up with our bullshit. Real question is when does the alliance between otters and orcas happen?
Ok so the orcas are the navy, eagles are the air force, otters are obviously the marines.
That lady knows what she did.
Someone was probably mean to them but it wasn't her. She is also not the first to be attacked.
She described finding herself suddenly surrounded by the pack after they “jumped out” from a drain in Perdana Park at about 6am local time.
“At first, I thought it was a cat, but the creature jumped out and bit me while I was running, and there were many of them ... I could not even stand up when it happened,” she told local media.
You would take thae human's side. Whatever. You hairless apes are all the same.
All I know is that no otter ever did me wrong. As long as I could fly away fast enough.
Despite their somewhat cuddly appearance, otters have teeth and jaws that are strong enough to crack open ~~shellfish~~ human fucking skulls.
I once got to go behind the scenes at a zoo, including their vet’s operating room. They had a bunch of interesting stories about how they tranq and operate on different animals of various sizes, but the worst experience they had was with an otter.
Poor little guy woke up partway through surgery, panicked, and went fucking berserk. Those little claws left gouges a foot long and an inch deep in the vet. And then, because they’re so small and fast, trying to re-anaesthetize it was a huge pain.
Anyways, I think about that story a lot when I hear about otters.
And They're in the same family as weasels, honey badgers, and wolverines.
That's otterly ridiculous!
Orcas, eagles, otters. I’m just glad my house cat is indifferent to politics
Otters, and eagles and orcas, oh my!
Love how nature is fighting back lol
