An otter injured a 12-year-old boy from Butte who was floating on the Big Hole River west of Divide on Friday, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.
A post on the Montana FWP (Region 3) Facebook page says two boys were floating on inner tubes about a half-mile upstream from the Powerhouse Fishing Access Site when they noticed several otters downstream.
The boys were reportedly trying to keep their distance when one of the otters approached and attacked one of the boys.
Two adults who were camping nearby helped drive the otters away and bring the boys to safety.
