Otter Attack in Lake Tahoe | California News
Description
A Tahoe swimmer’s peaceful Sunday turned terrifying when a river otter attacked her, ripping off her goggles and biting her face, arms, and legs—requiring 22 stitches on her foot alone. On her way back to teach a lesson, she narrowly avoided boats but didn’t expect wildlife to turn violent. Though otter attacks are rare, officials confirm they can become aggressive if threatened or protecting young. Authorities are now warning swimmers to stay alert and keep distance from wildlife, while the victim, whose sanctuary was turned into a nightmare, hopes to return to the water once healed.
