In Singapore, a flock of otters knocked to the ground and bit a man

If you were scared in childhood by a gray top, then you were simply misled. Because it's actually more logical to be afraid of... a brown otter. A flock of these animals, cute in appearance, attacked a visitor to the botanical garden in banana-lemon Singapore. 26 bites were found on the victim's body and the victim is sure that the animals wanted him dead.

The attack occurred at the end of November, when Briton Graham George Spencer was walking with a friend in the Botanical Park of Singapore. A flock of otters, consisting of 20 individuals, including cubs, also marched decorously along the alley. The conflict occurred due to the fact that an anonymous athlete running past crashed into a flock of animals and stepped on one of them.

The athlete continued his training, and the otters decided to take out the evil on a random passerby. At first, the animals started biting Spencer's legs, and when he fell, they clung to his thighs and buttocks. One animal tried to get to the Briton's face, but he managed to cover it with his hands. We can say that he was lucky – the bite fell on his finger.

Spencer was saved by his friend, who started shouting at the otters and urging them to be reasonable. The otters left their prey, and the two frightened friends hastened to retreat. The men claim that the pack chased them at a distance for some time, but no longer dared to attack.

Graham Spencer went to the police immediately after the incident. Law enforcement officers and medics arrived at the scene, who provided assistance to the victim and documented the attack. The bitten Briton was vaccinated against rabies and tetanus and had several stitches.

The administration of the botanical garden apologized to Spencer and launched an investigation into this terrible case. Experts of the National Parks Council of Singapore claim that otters, although they look friendly, should not be in close contact with them. At the same time, fearless visitors to the botanical garden often approach these animals and stroke them, despite the prohibitions.

But in the case of Spencer, everything was different, and the man suffered because of another person. According to zoologists, otters can be dangerous only if they are very scared and cornered. Then they fight desperately to the last and can cause serious injuries.

Enraged otters together can tear even an alligator! Such cases are known to scientists. As for the incident in the park, the runner sowed panic among the pack, and they attacked a random passerby.
