Man attacked by 20 otters, bitten 26 times: 'I thought I was going to die'
2021-12-11
Haven't seen that headline before either.
[NYPOST] A Singapore resident was hospitalized after a bizarre animal attack last month in which he was accosted by a gang of otters, who reportedly bit him 26 times.

"I actually thought I was going to die — they were going to kill me," British native Graham George Spencer told the Straits Times of the otterly frightening encounter, which occurred Nov. 30 while he was strolling to the Singapore Botanic Gardens with a friend.

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. He claimed it was the first time he had seen the mustelids in the area despite taking his morning walks there for five months. 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, the shocked senior told Singapore’s Today online newspaper.

#10  Not real Rantburg encounter material, of course, just cargo cult... and I have to confess that in weak moments I sometimes suspect that it's not really gonna bring Shipman back at all.

"Our target is Ali the Otter!
Ere we speed to the spot
Where he foolishly fought,
Issue one round of bullet and shotter."

He may have smelled like fish.
Was he returning from a date?

#2  "There was an old man of New Delhi
Whose fate is too gruesome to tell,
And he's still not quite dead..."
Said the poor fellow's head
As it sat on a fat otter's belly.
