Next on the news, we have a shocking story of a jogger who was viciously attacked by a group of otters. The incident took place in Sabah, Malaysia at the Tanjung Aru Recreation Park. Witnesses described the terrifying scene of eight otters charging through the park in search of food. The middle-aged woman, who was out for a leisurely jog, was suddenly surrounded by the ferocious animals. She could do nothing but scream as they sunk their teeth into her legs, leaving her lying in a pool of her own blood.
The disturbing footage captured the otters running across the parking lot, just moments after attacking the woman. It's a chilling reminder of how unpredictable and dangerous wild animals can be. Thankfully, the shaken jogger was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, a team from the wildlife department was dispatched to the park to monitor the otters and ensure the safety of other park-goers.
The pictures of the woman sitting on the curb, crying and covered in blood, are truly heartbreaking. She suffered deep wounds on her shins and had to be bitten through her leggings. The otters left her with gaping wounds on her arms and legs. It's a terrifying experience that no one should have to go through.
According to the director of the Sabah Wildlife Department, this is not the first time wild otters have entered the park in search of food. However, the recent attack is a cause for concern as it indicates a change in the animals' behavior. It's believed that the community feeding the otters may have contributed to this change. As a precaution, the fence around the park will be reinforced to prevent any further incidents.
The director also advised park-goers to avoid going near the fences or interacting with the animals to avoid conflicts with wildlife. This is not the first time an otter has attacked a human in this park. In a previous incident, a male park-goer was also hospitalized after being attacked by otters while walking with his friends.
It's important to note that otters are generally not aggressive towards humans. However, they can become defensive or even aggressive if they feel threatened or cornered, especially when protecting their young or territory. Conservationists, who are working to protect the otter population, also warn that they can show aggression towards each other or other animals, particularly during mating season or when competing for food.
This is not an isolated incident. Last year, a woman in the US was attacked by an otter while floating down the Jefferson River. It serves as a reminder that we must respect wild animals and their habitats. The park manager has been instructed to report any otter sightings after the fence repairs are complete. Let's hope that such incidents can be avoided in the future and that both humans and wild animals can coexist peacefully.
