In the summer of 2023, Monterey Bay, CA played host to quite a furry situation. This is the bizarre story of Sea Otter No. 841.
Those pregnancy cravings can be hellish sometimes, however many surfboards you eat, it is never enough.
I absolutely love this comment 😂
I just eat surfboards in general tbh
😂😂 so ur comment is the top comment, which means it's the only one we see in the comments part of the view page on YT...
Soooo when I see the title/thumbnail I of course click, and then when I'm less than 3 seconds in, I see your comment and it probably goes without saying that my immediate reaction was, "what in the name of all creatures big & small has this comment have to do with THIS video?!?!?!"
😂
(Subsequently, naturally a classic, "OOOOOOOOOOHHH, NOW I see...," was something I also said as the vid wrapped up hahaha)
Gotta love a Montery Bay video just after Rosa's birthday!
Agreed!
Who's rosa?
@@spencerdokes6056 guess you've never watched a otters birthday stream before
We love rosa
ah a man of culture I see
the official warnings missed an opportunity to use the phrase "you otter be careful"
But to ensure the publics chance of survival, LEAVE THE OTTERS ALONE
you can touch some of the animals, but then you have to leave otters alone
I was afraid for a minute that Otter no. 841 had been captured by Dr. Landor, and that was the reason for her aggressive behavior.
Who is Dr Landor?
@@marcylynn3703 Dr. Landor is the villain in the comic book superhero universe that Austin is creating. He’s sort of a Dr. Frankenstein knockoff.
Story about a sea otter features more footage of river otters for some reason. One lives in the sea, the other lives in rivers just in case it wasn't clear
Thank god you were here to clear that up, bugging me the entire video /s
841 was so aggressive to surfers because they didn't know how to pet her correctly. They should have tried using their otter hand.
Oh my god
take my like and leave
So is this the newest addition to your superhero team?
She could be the team mascot. (?)
6 gun gorilla needs a arch nemesis...
@@j_yeld3554She's called 841, because it's the amount of weapons she has on her at all time.
You're really knocking it out of the park these days. Thanks
Damn, I bet 841 has met Rosa!
rip
This is so dramatic.
I love it!
I love Videos like this Austin. Thanks for still finfing time for obscure stuff like this.
I have no idea why you don’t get more views and shit dude, keep making this high quality stuff bc it’s so awesome, love from every fiber of my being ❤❤
Thanks, man! If you've got a few minutes, sharing it around can really help me out. All the best.
Yeah kunda crazy how the view count is so low. I guess the algorithm doest like it all that much
@@LunarPenguin42 Austin does a really wide variety of topics so maybe the algorithm doesn't know what to do with his videos?
1:15 That is a river otter!!
And a lot of your videos are using river otter images.
This was fun! Hope you're doing well, Austin.
Oh the Otter raised in captivity by Squid Games guards and then dropped into a surfers' cove was acting weird?
???
Yo new Monterey Bay Aquarium lore dropped
this mystery would have made for a great episode of the Nicktoon Angry Beavers
As a resident of coastal California, this is the most coastal California story ever
The is phenomenal story telling! Your channel is such a bright spot in my subscription box ❤
this otter is just Bane. Grew up in prison, serving sentence because of her parent's crimes and now seeks power and revenge
Send in the seals!
1:05 Monterey Bay‽ Rosa‽‽‽
rip
Even though the black rubber suit thing seems ridiculous. It’s actually very important for years. We have been fucking up animal behavior as we record them all these discovery channel shows animal planet. They do a lot of good, but they also do a lot of harm if you really want an animal to stay an animal and not depend on a human then you make sure you don’t seem human it’s ridiculous, but genius and good for the animal
Video about sea otters that's like 90% footage of river otters. I guess it's not the first time, so sure.
maybe they just needed a little more time with Rosa at the monterrey bay aquarium, shes a miracle worker
R.I.P.
I love it when you upload stories like these. They just fun ^^
Am I going crazy, or are half of the pictures used showing North American RIVER otters, rather than sea otters like Otter No. 841 is said and shown to be???
No, you're absolutely correct.
Make a movie using only AI tools. Seems like an interesting project right up your alley
Why the crap did this not pop up on my recommendations!?! I've watched all your videos as soon as I see them, didn't see this until you linked to it in your latest video
I dunno, man. I've pretty much given up on RUclips notifying people of new uploads on my channel. Sorry. I have no idea how to fix things. The only recommendation I can maybe make is that you watch a few of my videos to completion back-to-back and maybe it'll jostle something in the RUclips algorithm.
@@austinmcconnell I think I'll try that, you've got some great videos from a couple years back that I need to give another watch anyways. RUclips is frustrating at times, oh well. This video was great though!
Otter #841: An Otter...with a dark side.
That was _exactly_ what i was gonna say.
Love these. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
it's one of Rosa's many children.

I wonder, can partially or even fully aquatic mammals get rabies, and if so, how do they react to water?
I love the videos made by Mr. AustinMcConnel.
Rest in peace Rosa gone but never forgotten
[Several generations of catching, containing, and releasing children later]
Surfer 1: "Ok, let's go around this bend I see good waves out there"
Surfer 2 (grabbing Surfer 1's Hand): "Oh, we don't go out there... Those waters over there belong to the Sea Otter Gang..."
[Cut to show a bunch of otters in the water on stolen, bitten surfboards, with bags of stolen food surrounding them, holding various weapons like a club made of stone and a steel pipe]
I've been watching you since a long time, and your videos don't get the attention they deserve.. and they don't get recommended for me but I have notifications on.. I just want to say that as someone who creates content myself I really appreciate your content!!! I would love to interview you
I used different accounts to watch you since a long time
Moral of the story: Don't feed Wildlife.
I luv that acuraium it’s so stupid
I wanna live there
841 is a beloved Santa Cruz mascot
A happy ending :)
I love this
By far the most intriguing title i've ever seen on youtube
Did anyone bother to check if otter attacked ALL surfers or just the ones who were out of their depth in the sport?
That was still her back, and front yard they were occupying for their out-doorzy past time.
Full understanding and support for 841. some surfers definitely need their boards chewed.
For a second I was scared the otter attacked the dude
this is amazing i wanna meet the terrifying little fella
Love your videos
How did I miss this video??! I found this in the comments about the Writer's block and I feel so lost as to how I didn't get to see this!

Hello, I’m the Sea Otter who stole your surfboard and I wrote you this poem
My heart has been expertly pierced
By Neptune’s long love trident
Sharp, salty, and free, we raft as oceanic lovers
Storing memories in our handbag-like armpits
The taste of love’s last foamy bite receding
The endless Wavestorm, wa-powing the lip
We crack our mollusks in anticipation
Of the police report you have yet to file.

Still praying for you, Austin! I love your videos!
we love you Rosa

i love these sorts of videos!
Reminds me of the flamingo
Cool squarespace commercial 😂
I work frequently with otters and would encourage everyone to leave wild otters alone. Yes they are cute, they are also in the same family as the mongoose, badger, and wolverine. They have the same temperament as well. If you find an abandoned wild Otter pup do not take it home. They are not dogs or cats. Call a local authority or leave them alone. They will most likely hurt you, and you will most likely cause them to be malnourished.
Do. Not. Pet. The water dog.
Otterly historical fact: Ancient Persian Zoroastrians believed Otters to be sort of devine or sacred. They called them water dog and dogs were already very important, in combination with the sacred element of water, well, let me say this for killing an otter you would get 1000 leashes. Basically a death sentence. Extremely based if you ask me.

Where would my life be without the A.M. News Channel. Otters of the world Unite!
This was completely genius. Thank you so much for making me laugh!
This was such a fun video.
I like mysteries. I like otters.
Gotta be good to make us all watch a video about an aggressive sea otter till the end. You’re great! #LeaveThemOttersAlone
You "Otter Be Careful." The next time you come across these mamels.
Well done. :)
How did they know its thay specific otter? Are they tagged for tracking b4 release?
Tagged and chipped.
...90% of this footage is of freshwater otters, not sea otters??? what to heck
There’s only so many videos of sea otters that can be used cheaply. I’m sure he’s doing the best he can. 😅
Why is this video getting so few views? Did the algorithm hit Austin hard with something?
Been like this the past few months. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! If you've got a spare minute, sharing the videos I make around can really help me out. Thanks so much! Hope you're having a great week.
A lot of your footage used was of river otters, my guy
are there *non*-sea otters?
yes
a lot of the photos in the video are actually not sea otters
Even though it may make you sad for wild animals to flee from you understand this. Wild animals are dangerous, even the tiny cute ones. They should all be encouraged to fear humans for the safety of all species involved. Most importantly, do not pet wild animals. Just don't, if you want to pet a deer or something find a petting zoo with tame animals.
For a video dedicated to the endangered Sea otter, I am disappointed to see many images and silhouettes of river otters instead. They're distinct species with many different behaviors and attributes. River otters tend to look to have 4 "legs", weight a lot less, smaller shape, and have less fur. Sea otters are much larger, weighing in between 30-40kg and can be up to 5 feet long! (tails are not as long compared to its body). Sea otters lack fat compared to other blubbery marine animals, and compensates with very thick fur!
The Southern Sea Otter has had a very rough history, thought to be wiped out by fur traders. It wasn't until mid-1900 where a raft of 50 sea otters were founded near Monterey Bay. It has taken many decades, but now we are up to 3,000 sea otters, and it remains ever important to continue protecting them as sea otters are important to the health of kelp forests near our shores. I hope to raise awareness of our furry friends and help us distinguish them should we see them in the wild! According to Sea Otter Savvy, we want to maintain 5 kayak lengths away from them at minimum.
Fun fact! Sea otters fur is so dense, it is the equivalent of all the hair on a house cat condensed to the size of a postage stamp, and without the fat insulating them, they need to eat the 25% of their body weight every day! Thats like trying to eat 25 hamburgers every day :0
mba aquarium learned facts
otter No. 11
Emu war with Californian vibe
i don't get it. how tf does pregnancy explain a surf board fetish.. bruh..
Ay!
How does pregnant = hating surfers?
Wasnt expecting an scp story about... an otter... was not dissappointed 😂
comment for the algorithm
I really thought that 841 traumatised in captivity by blackclad beasts was going to associate vibrant colour with destruction
Well. That otter been obvious.
If any woman asks me if I like true crime content, I'm sending them this.
Yeah, I agree. They really otter leave 841 alone!
👍🦦
It should be no mystery that animals captured and abused by humans misbehave.
Interesting story.
Shame a lot of footage is of river otters, not sea otters. Even the shape cutouts are river otters. Yes they are both otters but come on it's not that hard to differentiate between the 2 species. Lots of people already make the confusion, sad that a big channel like this perpetuates it
Commenting 4 algorithm
It was probebly the wetsuits that triggered her behaviour.
You're an otter momma
I love how you talk about sesotters, but then show images of river otters and Asian small claw otters 😁
Also; yes, the suits look absurd, but this is to keep the otters from getting attached to humans, and.. Meow
The majority of photos (and clip art) are the wrong kind of otter.
It ruins the credibility of this video.
Dude! I've got to know when Otter 723 was active in Monterey bay!!! Here's the story:
I've only been to the US once, in March 2004. I was there with 2 friends (one of whom is now a specialist in cetatian intelligence), and their friend, whom I shall refer to as G. I had wanted to see the sea otters since I was a kid, and my grandmother went to a medical conference in Monterey in the early 80s. She brought back a book, framed print and very realistic plushy, all about the sea otters. So when our road trip took us to Monterey, I was very excited to go out in tandem kayaks to see the sea life up close. I stress the tandem kayaks for two reasons - first, I'm visually impaired, so generally I only see wildlife in the wild if they've been run over by a car, and secondly, because I was NOT the one deciding which direction to paddle in. G was the pilot, and they were heading right for a raft of sea otters. I pointed out that the guy who rented us the kayaks said to stay 100 yards away from the animals. G replied, "No, it was 100ft", while paddling up to about 25 ft from the otters. One of the otters caught our eye, swam over to us, and proceeded to attempt to hitch a ride on our kayak. She (I'm assuming it's Otter 723 or her mum), tried to climb up the front, but couldn't gain purchase. So she swan round the back and tried to boost herself up right behind me on the kayak. I could see her, she wasn't road-kill, it was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. But we totally shouldn't have been that close to the wildlife! If it turns out that the otter in question was a known criminal / celebrity, it would make me happy for the rest of my life!!!!!
No way we're getting a sequel
wait so... what? how does being pregnant explain her aggressive hatred of surfers? do otters feed their babies plastic or something?
She's protecting her territory.
She recognises the potential danger posed by humans and their surfboards and wants them gone from her breeding ground - perfectly understandable.
It isn't just about the direct danger posed by surfers - it'll also be about resources - will the presence of humans impact the availability of food?
Which for a sea otter, (or any other wild animal) is a perfectly valid question.
If only there was a RUclips channel that discussed mysteries like this. Oh, how I wish...
Wisely and lovingly told! This is an immediately engaging story to anyone familiar with otters, because it's so unlike them to be violent, so it's understandable that the mellow surfers saw the otter as persecuted, even when she was dangerous. Pretty confounding. Otters are one of the few animals that are friendly, curious and playful, even around humans. While it strikes me as crazy to try to pet a wild animal of any kind, I could hardly imagine an otter pursuing people and exhibiting such jaws-like aggression. Has the misguided sentimentality of human feeding ruined this animal spectacularly? Is the otter rabid or otherwise mentally ill? I wouldn't have guessed the bizarre disposition was hormonal, but that makes sense too. Pregnancy counts as a serious illness of a sort, both for humans and animals -- think of postpartum depression in people, or otherwise vicious predators that will sometimes baby animals that would otherwise be their prey, because they meet them at the time when their bodies tell them to care for something defenseless, small and cute. Hormones cause animals to behave with other animals and humans in ways utterly different than they would otherwise.
This is truly a bizarre mystery of sea otter no. 841
you are my fav RUclipsr!
Yo Austin if your needing a voice actor I'm here I don't want paid
Sea otter No. 841 is a sea otter.
Always can entertain with the most bizzare subject matter, Love you for that Austin
