2026/09/02

A Lake Tahoe swim instructor had a terrifying encounter with a river otter that attacked her mid-swim, dragging her under and delivering relentless bites before she escaped onto rocks and a bike path. She suffered 38 stitches and rabies shots — but plans to return to the water, just not where it happened. This isn’t an isolated incident: two other swimmers were attacked by otters in the same area just weeks prior. Experts say such attacks are rare but often occur when otters feel threatened —
