Girl is my class had square scars all over her upper body and arms, raised and silvery. She was attacked by a river otter family as a child.

Confidence is a super weapon in nature. If you don’t show fear, the other one starts questioning why.

Anyone else notice the little head shake before the otter went underwater again. "Don't try it, furball."

yeah, that strike was aimed for the jugular, he could have run the dog off with a nip to the foot, but that's not what he did....

Right. Just sounded like it hurt physically. But it hurt him in a whole different way...

An otter is approx half the weight of an wolverine, and wolverines can take down reindeer, easily... The dog should consider itself lucky.

Those things have no bearing on each other. It is a statement will such illogical leaps in reasoning.

Reindeer: 80-180 kg. Dog: 20 kg? Mustelids are crazy fuckers able to take on much larger prey than their own size.

Yes, let the dog bother a wild animal while both are confused and angry. That little fuck is made for murder, your dog is not.

I've seen in nature documentaries, packs of otters harassing caiman and crocodiles. They can be fearless, fast, and well organised fuckers!

Sorry didnt watch with sound on, I figured they were playing. I'd imagine once the owner figured they weren't, they'd reign the dog in, no?

Not only is this wrong, but otters can be genuinely dangerous.

Wild animals and some yahoo’s dog? No, probably not playing

Yes. This. The owner should be getting the dog away immediately. I hate people like this.

Doesn't matter. Dog is annoying otters, move yourself and your dog along instead of annoying the wildlife.

Maybe they knew the dog is harmless, it's important to know the context. But I agree some dogs should be on a leash a this situation.

The problem is not what the dog could do ...

Wild animals don’t have an unlimited supply of calories from Walmart. They can starve and need to make it through dearth times. Leash em

Especially labs, black or otherwise, should be taught to know their fucking boundaries. :') People let those do way too much shit.

PS. I typed "their boundaries" but really for labs, it's "everyone else's boundaries" they should learn about.

Think it's in correlation to the size of the dog. Same goes for eagles grabbing dogs as well. Size is relevant. 90 lb lab vs otter?

It's not just 1 otter. Those little buggers operate in packs.

It happens quite a lot. People dont realize it sometimes. Find there pets dead in water and assume that they drowned somehow.
