Otters can be ferocious critters. A friend, long ago, was 'coon hunting with his 'coon dogs and they struck a trail that ended at a leaning tree. When my friend arrived there was an otter up on the leaning tree, with the dogs all around baying. As he watched, the otter jumped out of the tree into the midst of the dogs and whipped them soundly, then went on his way. He said he had never encountered anything that fought dogs like that otter.
