One video is going viral over social media in which Otters fiercely defended a baby otter from a group of dogs. The video is from Madhya Pradesh’s Gandhisagar sanctuary.
The video is being viewed by a lot of people across the world. Several fans took to their social media to share the video and also to praise the Otters’ courage in fighting off the dogs. The video was shared on Twitter by an Indian Forest Service officer, Ravindra Mani Tripathi. The forest officer also explained that it is a great interaction between dogs and otters. He further said that the way elder otters prevent the young ones is a great learning and a rare view to humans.
