Otter Attack in Montana Injures 3 Women, 1 Airlifted to Hospital

Three women were attacked by an otter while floating down the Jefferson River in Montana.
The otter approached and attacked the women after they had spotted one or two otters in the water.
One woman suffered severe injuries and had to be airlifted to the hospital.
Wildlife authorities have posted signs warning people about otter activity in the area.
Otter attacks on humans are considered rare, but otters can be protective of their young and food sources.
