Spencer, who is in his 60s, was reportedly approaching the visitors center when he spotted around 20 otters crossing a dimly-lit path in front of him.
The animal encounter went south after a jogger ran through the pack, causing the fish-eaters to go “crazy like dogs” and try to bite the passerby...
Fortunately, the runner escaped, but the water weasels set their sights on Spencer, who believed they’d mistook him for the runner.
The ornery otters reportedly hit him in the ankles, pushed him down and leaped on top of Spencer, then proceeded to bite the prone man around his legs, shoes and buttocks, with one nipping his finger, according to the media reports.
The cantankerous creatures ceased the attack momentarily, allowing Spencer to get up and make a break for it.
Meanwhile, in a similar instance in 2019, a man was forced to rescue his dog from a pack of vicious river otters in Alaska.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS can save your life; this man was lucky to have escaped, but COULD have prevented the whole thing (I am willing to wager) ...
OTTER CROSSING ???
Otter than that, Mr. Spencer, how was your day?
I just stopped by for the puns.
Why "fortunately?"
