Otter 841, an otter released from the aquarium in 2020, has been causing a stir along the beaches of Santa Cruz and officials are after it.
The reasoning behind the hunt is because of Otter 841’s behavior as of late, which has seen the creature confronting locals in the area and even stealing surfboards from the beach. Despite the trouble it might be causing, the otter has garnered some attention from others, with support for the small otter growing internationally.
The goal is to catch the unusually aggressive otter and rehome her to an aquarium or zoo. Otter 841 was originally raised in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where she was fed and minimally cared for by staff dressed in black rubber suits and welding masks, which helped hide their human appearance.They also believe that Otter 841’s behavior around the beach is because she doesn’t have a healthy fear of humans. Her first interactions with humans along the beach began in September of 2022.
During that time, many have followed the international icon as she has confronted locals about being in the area and even stolen some items to munch on. However, attempts to catch her have gone without much progress. This otter isn’t the only animal garnering international attention, either.
