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.

They know

Love how nature is fighting back lol

It was a gang that was clearly lying in wait and.simultaneously jumped out of the bushes to surround her. Should have just gave them her wallet.

Its maul or be mauled in the Animal Kingdom. That’s just Nature’s nature

Nah, the slow hop-hop-hop is like a jog. Mustelids can fucking zoom if they're in danger or after prey. Like, even dopey-ass domesticated ferrets can get going pretty damn quick when they've been hurt or feel threatened. Nobody has posted what species of otter attacked this lady, but river otters can reach speeds of 47 kph (29 mph) on land. Sea otters are slow and fat, but these weren't sea otters.

You aren't outrunning a pack of otters in a sprint. It's no question that you could outrun them over a long distance, but mustelids are zoomy little fuckers.

(note that I like mustelids and had 4 ferrets, so please don't mistake my tone as being sour on them)

EDIT: holy shit, ferrets can be bred and trained to run at like 22 mph. That's insane!

Here’s a still frame of the otters in question. I’m betting they could quickly surprise and surround anyone they caught alone. And would have no problem giving chase on land.

And They're in the same family as weasels, honey badgers, and wolverines.

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.

Atleast 0.5

Would you rather take on 30 otter-sized horses, or one horse-sized otter?

how many otters I can take

😏

on

😞

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.

That lady handled 40, but she’s a jogger and in better shape than me. I could take 25.

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.

Ok so the orcas are the navy, eagles are the air force, otters are obviously the marines.

Meh, my bet’s on people being the assholes, and other species getting shafted in every aspect by us, and some are annoyed by it.

Only river otters, sea otters are cute and cuddly, as they would float away if they didn’t hold on tight

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.

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.
