"Surfboard-Snatching Otter Causes Chaos in Santa Cruz"

An aggressive sea otter in Santa Cruz, California, has been stealing surfers' boards and riding waves, causing concern for public safety. Videos of the otter's behavior have gone viral on social media. Officials believe the otter's unusual behavior may be due to hormonal surges or being fed by humans. Efforts are underway to catch and rehome the otter, as she poses a risk to humans and could be euthanized if she harms someone. Southern sea otters are protected under the Endangered Species Act and California law.
