Bryce Moser, of Marysville, and his grandmother, Lelani Grove, were both expected to survive their injuries, family members said. Grove has "hundreds of stitches" and a significant eye injury, while Moser has nine staples in his head and cuts all over his body.
"I just hear him screaming, 'Help! Get it off of me! Get it off of me!' and he goes underwater," said Moser's mother, Tabitha. "And then he comes up and I see the thing all the way on top of his head."
"(The otter) had him by the back of his head and it was holding him down," added witness Dean Springer, Bryce's great-uncle. "Just the whole body was wrapped around him."

Its fairly common, if there are otter pups around. You can find YouTube videos. They'll even attack crocodiles
I had a close encounter with female otter with pups 15 years ago but she didn't attack. We did have a 10 second eye to eye stare down.
I remember seeing a program about the Amazon and it was mentioned that the giant river otters were very dangerous.
You shouldn’t otter be swimming in that river.
Hamas otters
Those pig fluckers should go hide in shame.
Abso-bleepin-lutely!
Wow. Can otters be rabid? I wonder if they’re going to test this one (assuming they caught it — that might be a big assumption).
