The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said the otter in question is a 5-year-old female 'exhibiting concerning and unusual behaviors.'
In a statement to CBS News, a representative for the the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said the otter in question is a 5-year-old female"exhibiting concerning and unusual behaviors" including"approaching surfers and kayakers recreating in the area."
The department said once the sea otter is captured, it will be examined at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and officials will look for a long-term home for her."While this otter's behavior is highly unusual and the exact cause for this sea otter's behavior is unknown, aggressive behavior in female southern sea otters may be associated with hormonal surges or due to being fed by humans," the department said.
