“I actually thought I was going to die – they were going to kill me,” British native Graham George Spencer said of the otterly frightening encounter, which occurred Nov. 30 while he was strolling to the Singapore Botanic Gardens with a friend.
Spencer, who is in his 60s, was reportedly approaching the visitors center when he spotted around 20 otters crossing a dimly-lit path in front of him. He claimed it was the first time he had seen the mustelids in the area despite taking his morning walks there for five months. The animal encounter went south after a jogger ran through the pack, causing the otters to go “crazy like dogs” and try to bite the passerby.
Fortunately, the runner escaped, but the angry weasels then set their sights on Spencer, who believes they’d mistook him for the runner.
The enraged otters turned their attack on Spencer, sinking their tiny teeth into his ankles, pushed him down and then proceeded to bite the prone man around his legs, shoes and buttocks, with one even nipping his finger.
"He was delicious!" said one otter.
“I was bitten 26 times in 10 seconds,” an aghast Spencer recalled.
He should have had a high capacity 9mm with him. Then the otters would have learned a lesson they'd never forget - if they lived.
Here the killers roam free, thirsting for more delicious and nutritious human blood.
There was an old 1950s "Detective" type mag for men, called "Mans Life", and one of their lurid covers was "Weasels Ripped My Flesh." The theme was later picked up for an album cover by Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention...same name.
ReplyDeleteSo now OTTERS can rip your flesh too??!! Who knew!
There is a short video around somewhere where an otter goes up against a huge turtle. The otter literally chewed the turtle up. Shell and all. Took him two days to do it but he got the job done.
