Beavers have also been known to bite swimmers.

If they took my animal self defense class, they would have been able to defend themselves. Green belt covers specifically how to fight aquatic mammals.

'Allegedly'. LMAO! Don't want to prejudice the jury when the otters are brought in, I guess. The jury, presumably also composed of otters, might have been exposed to the coverage.

He added: "So we had to swim back about 70 yards, back to our camp, and they just kept getting at our legs and our feet."
