...otters have no real defence to being punched hard in the face...

[–] Vampiric_Luma@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Other than a whole body of water and years of mischief experience. Are you punching the otter, or is it just its after-image..?

Interesting that they're so convinced that the animal is the problem.

Just the one otter then?

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'm kind of rooting for the otter.

Came here to say that. Would love to see this on camera. Might watch a movie about it, though I admit it's unlikely the movie wouldn't be really stupid and childish.

[–] WhiteWolf@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, the otter is the bully… wow.
