Thankfully, this was in Malaysia but imagine being that poor jogger.
That otter leave a mark.
A woman was left crying in a pool of her own blood after getting savaged by a gang of otters in Malaysia.
The unidentified victim had reportedly been jogging through Tanjung Aru Recreation Park in Sabah when she was beset by eight of the beasts, Viral Press reported.
Accompanying footage shows the water weasel octet fleeing the scene after the attack.
Otters are predators, and related to honey badgers and wolverines.
Now you learned something new today.
X users wasted no time finding the (dark) humor in the situation:

Exactly our facial expression
Otter attacks happen in the U.S., too.
I had to look this up. This "Otter Gang Attack" in the article was in Malaysia. Otter attacks on humans in the USA are not common, but they do occur.

Montana Incident: In August 2023, three women floating on inner tubes on the Jefferson River in Montana were attacked by a river otter. One of the women suffered severe injuries, requiring her to be airlifted to a hospital.
California Attacks: There have been multiple reports of otter attacks in California:
Serene Lakes: A swimmer named Matt Leffers was attacked by otters in Serene Lakes, leaving him with around 40 puncture wounds. This incident, along with another attack on a woman in the same lake, underscores a pattern of aggressive behavior by otters in that area.
Santa Cruz: An aggressive sea otter was reported for attacking surfers, biting, scratching, and even climbing on surfboards. This led to warnings from wildlife officials to avoid certain areas where the otter was active.
Who knew? I didn't.
Hey, we've seen 'Zootopia'.
It warned us.
Otters are mean, like little water badgers. People who work at zoos know.

Hey NYP, a collective of otters is a “romp”, not a “gang”

Huh. We did not know a group of otters was called a romp.
