A video has been circulating on Whatsapp after an otter appears to be attacked by dogs in a canal.
The Otter which is only alone appears to be struggling against the 9 dogs that have completely surrounded it.
At the end of the video, another otter appeared from the left side of the video and chase the dogs away.
Hopefully, the otter got away without any injuries.
What kind of otter is that?
The Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) is Southeast Asia’s biggest otter, It’s a mammal that’s frequently seen in our mangroves, mudflats, and coastal areas, where it forages for clams, fish, and other tiny critters. These otters are very gregarious and communicate by scents and sounds. They have webbed paws that are well adapted for swimming. They are rambunctious creatures who prefer to swim in groups of four to twelve while chasing for fish.
