Rabid otter 'latched on and wouldn't let go,' Jupiter man
says

Joe Scaglione, 74, says he grabbed otter by throat to
stop attack

A Jupiter man, recovering from an attack by a rabid river
otter, is recounting how the critter sent him to the hospital.

JUPITER, Fla. — A 74-year-old Jupiter man, recovering from
an attack by a rabid river otter, is recounting how the
critter sent him to the hospital.

Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control said they haven't
seen a case like this in more than a decade.

. . .

You don't hear about THIS very often !

However it' not the first rabid otter attack I've
seen in Florida news. I remember a few years back
a man was attacked while playing golf. Setting up
for the putt and then a bite on the ankle.

Anyway, raccoons and bats aren't the only thing to
be worried about.

Armadillos can't get rabies - body temp too low. Instead
they can carry Leprosy ! :-)

Nature - it's Out To GET You !
