    Kevin Connor, a spokesperson for Monterey Bay Aquarium, said Otter 841 is considered a danger to the public because it is ignoring its natural survival instincts, ABC reported.

    “When we see this type of behavior exhibited by otters, it is a sign that they no longer have that healthy fear of human beings that allows them to stay safe in the wild away from us,” Conner said.

    I’m reading your words, Kevin, I am. But my heart is stronger than my brain. It wants that Otter to win.

    I love how they tried a bait board and it didn’t work. She knows the real boards have people on them.
