I don't think otter teeth are sharp enough to leave slices like that. Looks like an esox was the culprit IMO
Well, unlike you I have not trapped them, but one day a family of them was "fishing" off the end of my dock for about 15 minutes and from a distance of no more than 5 ft., I watched them bite bluegills in half with ease. Close enough I could hear the crunch and see blood on their whiskers. They were not at all afraid of me and were very successful in their fishing. Unlike fish, they are warm blooded and have to consume a lot of fish every day just to keep their body temps up. |

Just seen it on the news calling it a musky attack
The news said muskie, that must mean it was a muskie, everyone knows the news is right.
But in all honesty, although I've never caught a muskie, I have caught my fair share of pike, and their moths are basically the same. I honestly don't think that could have benn a muskie there would be way more holes and if a pike or muskie did bite and shake her foot would be shredded. And if it just bit and let go there would be holes, not two cuts. I guess any things possible but I don't buy it.
But I guess here comes the next jaws movie. |

Location: Elk River, MN | I read one article that combined the 2 different attack stories and claimed the girl was attacked by a Muskie 25 times. Fear mongers win again, even when the original woman spoke out and said they've seen otters around recently and most likely attacked the little girl. But a wild otter attack isn't nearly as good of news as a killer fish on the loose |

Good, I thought I was the only one who saw them combined, bitten 25 times by a Muskie didn't make sense. |

| Face it, it could have been a muskie. In fact, I think it is more likely than an otter based on the smaller abrasions which could have been the teeth on the roof of the mouth. Big deal, it happens about once every 10 years. |

|
| If i were to guess, those smaller 'abrasions" are actually gauze pattern and dried blood. |
