Jogger Hospitalized After Rare Otter Attack in Malaysian Park

Mariasella Harun was ambushed by a group of otters while jogging in Tanjung Aru Recreation Park, suffering severe injuries.

Mariasella Harun, a regular jogger in Tanjung Aru Recreation Park, was attacked by eight otters early Wednesday morning.
The otters, including six adults and two cubs, emerged from a drain and bit Harun, leaving her with deep gashes on her legs, arms, and face.
This incident marks the second otter attack in the park, prompting wildlife officials to reinforce the park's fence and warn the public against feeding the animals.
Wildlife authorities suggest the otters may have acted defensively, perceiving Harun as a threat to their cubs.
Harun was rushed to the hospital for treatment, and a wildlife team has been dispatched to monitor the otters' behavior.
