The sea otter harassing surfers off the California coast eludes capture as her fan club grows
A sea otter launched into the national spotlight after images of her aggressively wresting surfboards away from surfers off the coast of Santa Cruz, California circulated on social media is building a fan club as she continues to evade capture.
“The main issue is more just her ability to evade. Because this has been an ongoing effort, she is wary of those nets,” Fujii said. “They can’t throw a net over her in the water. They can’t tranquillize her because of fear of her drowning. So they really need to get hands on her,” said the Santa Cruz photographer, Mark Woodward.
“Aggressive behaviour in female southern sea otters may be associated with hormonal surges or due to being fed by humans,” the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a statement last week.
