So one time the zoo where i live was advertising they had otter babies.
Some 'Darwin Award' decided that'd be really cute, so they climbed into the enclosure ...and of course got hospitalised by momma otter.
Otters are really interesting and delightfully playful but dont ever mess with nature, especially when it has babies to defend.
