Spector, 77, fromSarasota, turned around in her boat early Sunday morning and, catching a glimpse of the small riverdweller, thought to herself, “Oh, this is a cute otter,” she told the Tampa Bay Times.
The animal, usuallyknown for its curiosityand playful demeanor, leaped onto the kayak and lunged atSpector.
“Then we had this little tug of war,” she told the Tampa Bay Times.“I tried to get him off of my kayak, and I screamed extremely loud so I could try and scare him off, but that didn’t work. It took some time, but I fought with him, my husband jumped in, and other people came by to help.”
