Otter Attack in Lake Tahoe | Oklahoma City News

A Tahoe swimmer’s morning dip turned terrifying when an otter dragged her underwater, leaving her with cuts requiring 22 stitches and a rabies shot—despite her experience as a pro instructor. Authorities couldn’t find the animal, but this isn’t the first attack this summer, nor the first in Alaska. Though otters are usually nocturnal, they can be active early morning. Rare—but real: only 39 documented attacks since 1875, mostly involving North American otters in places like Florida. Stay alert—even in paradise.
