'Vicious and relentless': Victim describes harrowing otter attack (graphic images of wounds) [View all]
Aug. 2 was supposed to be a relaxing day on the river, a birthday celebration for Jen Royce with two of her best friends.
But it ended with the trio fighting for their lives after they were attacked by river otters while floating the Jefferson River.
Royce still has a long road to recovery ahead of her. She declined to an interview with MTN News but shared her account on social media. She wrote the attack began just before dark near the Lewis and Clark Caverns on the river, when she noticed an otter behind her friend.
“I didn’t even have a chance to get the words 'there is an otter behind you,' out of me before it attacked her,” Royce wrote.
