cute butttttt since we get on other people about posting in the wrong forum i feel like its only fair for me to point that out.
 
That's crazy. They are cute and playful but they are just as dangerous as a raccoon. Their bites and scratches are still awful because they have large teeth and are strong and they frequently carry diseases including rabies. I grew up in Monterey (different type of otter) and the otters could frequently be seen playing in the ocean...they would come up to you sometimes and want to play. I was always told to leave them alone because they carry diseases...not just sea otters though...they all do. They are still considered a pest, cute or not.

Probably the most fun-loving animal that exists is the North American river otter. They are often called the "clowns of the animal kingdom." They can find endless ways to play and to have fun, and they express their joy with playful squeals of pleasure and almost seem to giggle as they roll, chase, and interact with each other or anyone or anything that happens to be nearby. I have lived with two of these bundles of joy for thirteen years. Petey and Penny, pictured here, have given me more pleasure and made me smile more that anything else I know other than my two children. At this point, I must caution the reader not to go out and acquire a river otter! As far as I know, or as far as anyone else I have found knows, no one else has had the positive experience I've had living in close contact with these inquisitive, yet potentially aggressive beings. In fact I haven't heard of anyone else that has successfully kept river otters past their maturity. If any readers know of anyone that has successfully kept river otters in a home environment past the age of three, I'd love to hear from them. River otters are related to the wolverine, known as the most aggressive predator in North America. They are quick to become agitated and angered by anything to which they take exception, and they can strike like a cobra. Once they begin striking at anything, they will continue and would undoubtedly fight to the death before they would back off. I have seen documentaries of a single river otter fighting off three coyotes and keeping them from her babies until all the otters were safely in their den.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (KABC) -- There is an aggressive otter on the loose in South Florida.

People have said that the otter has come after them and one person shot video of the chase to prove it.

Joe Costa-Silva said he didn't know what was coming after him until it emerged out of the lake near his home in Boca Raton.

After it got out of the water, it started running after him. That's when Costa took out his mobile phone recorded the incident on video.

Wildlife experts said the aggressive behavior could be an otter mom protecting her pups or it could be a sign of rabies.

Another man said an otter came after him while he was riding his bike.
