In the later half of 2021, a series of attacks were reported in Anchorage, Alaska, carried out by river otters. Also in late 2021, a man in Singapore visiting the Botanic Gardens says he believes a group of smooth-coated otters would've killed him had his friend not intervened. Ashley and Nick break down the possible causes of these attacks, while making some (not so great in Nick's opinion) puns along the way. They also chat about some other totally tubular Mustelids, and the plot of the Zootopia movie. It's a wild start to 2022, folks.

To learn more about how to live safely alongside otters, you can read the article Please Don't Poke the Sea Otters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
