Move aside peaceful manatees and splashing dolphins - make way for...the rabid otter!
You think I'm kidding? Just last week, one of those cute, furry little guys went berserk and attacked a 96 year old Venice man. The poor fellow was out for his morning walk, when this otter comes out of nowhere, dives at his legs, and takes him down. Then, like he's got ahold of halibut, refuses to let go.
A passing truck driver, thought the old guy had fallen off his bike and ran to help. He called 911, and then attempted to pry the animal off, but there was no way that fur ball was letting go of its prize, until finally he managed to knock it out with a shovel.
The best part, was the 911 call. The operator claims the line went deathly silent after the otter was taken out. Then suddenly, like something out of a horror flick, the man yelled, "It isn't over!", as the otter sprang up and resumed his frenzied attack. There were reports of a crazed look and foaming at the mouth, but the details are fuzzy.
Shortly, thereafter, Sarasota's finest arrived, and let's just say, it wasn't a happy ending for the otter.
I don't know about you, but I'm changing my jogging route.
