The surfboard-biting sea otter in Santa Cruz has once again evaded capture attempts by wildlife officials. 'I'm extremely frustrated and exhausted.'
"Although we haven't observed her being aggressive towards people, she's really focused on the boards or if they're wearing fins she's focused on the fins. We don't want to have a person accidently bit," Young said.
Officials says when she is captured she will undergo a health assessment and eventually rehomed in a zoo or aquarium. Local surfer Joseph Wilcox said that's a shame. He held a surfboard Friday that said "keep 841 free.""Every time humans come across some nature that doesn't act their way acts like nature we got to put it in cage and you know take it somewhere. This is where she belongs, this is her home this is our home we can share it and yeah watch out for the otters," Wilcox said.
