A woman has been hospitalised after being attacked by an otter in a US river. Attacks from otters are incredibly rare – there have reportedly only been an estimated 59 otter attacks with injuries or deaths worldwide since 1875.
A woman tubing with friends along aJen Royce, from Bozeman in Montana, was floating down the Jefferson River with two friends earlier this month when she was attacked by the animal for around five minutes.
‘Without ANY exaggeration, God’s honest truth, I did not think I was going to make it out of that river.‘We were helpless. I tried to kick it away, but I would just get attacked somewhere else.’ ‘This thing was vicious and relentless. It bit my face in several places, both of my ears, my arms, my hands, my legs, my thighs and my ankle.
‘I made the choice, knowing the pain it would cause my friend to tell her I loved her and to ask her to watch over my kids,’ she said.
