An unsuspecting outdoor sports enthusiast was left with a face full of stitches and a ‘half my ear’ chewed off after she was attacked by an angry otter while tubing down a Montana river.
Jen Royce and two friends were floating down a wide stretch of the Jefferson River near Bozeman on Wednesday when the otter descended upon the group just after 8 p.m., the female water enthusiast recalled on social media.
‘I saw one otter right behind my friend before it attacked,’ Royce wrote in a Facebook post detailing the ‘surprise attack’. ‘I didn’t even have a chance to get the words ‘there is an otter behind you’ out of me before it attacked her'.
