Beware: Duluth Attacking Otters
By Cory Fechner on Jul 17, 2012 in Advice, Outdoors
Please beware of attacking otters in the Duluth area. There is at least one attacking otter on the loose at Island Lake and where there is one there has got to be more.

Haha. Nice Photoshop on the 2nd image. The 3rd image is from the UK, our Otters are waaaay more chill… except when they aren’t.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…
EVERYBODY FREAK OOOOOUUUUTTTT!!!!!
Just like everyone thinks bats are rabid, now otters can be tooooooooo!!!!
Otters hold hands when they sleep. And, apparently, crave blood.
My wife and I each independently thought of the strangest headline we’d read at that point.
Everyone who knows me, knows I am an otter lover. This said, we must understand rabies knows no mammalian bias, it sees/prefers no color or fur type. But I think I would prefer an otter attack over a bat, a raccoon, or a pit bull any day. Still, I’ll twist that little fuckers head off if it comes anywhere near. What you really don’t want is Heloderma Suspectum latching on. Honest to Christ, I almost had that happen once, but he was a friendly little fella, and instead of throwing down a leg-removal inducing bite on me, as reward for not running over him on my bike, simply ran under a bush and hissed at me for the effort.
Is that Leo DiCaprio in the above image?
