Sexually Frustrated Male Sea Otter Suspected In Local River Otter Killings

The deceptively cute sea otter, named Ollie, has been seen toting around the bodies of river otters that have visible sexual trauma.

A locally famous sea otter in Canada is gaining a reputation for violence after being spotted carrying around the bodies of dead river otters and using them for sexual purposes.

Ollie, as he’s known to humans, resides in the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve off the southern tip of Vancouver Island in British Columbia and is suspected of killing at around 20 river otters over the past 10 years.

“He’s the only sea otter in the immediate area, so the assumption is that he does this, kills the river otters, and then sort of has his way with them for multiple days, to release that sexual tension,” whale watching captain and wildlife educator Mollie Cameron told CHEK News.

Like some human serial killers, Ollie is charming and charismatic. He has his own Facebook fan page, chock-full of adorable photos.

Cameron, who is the director of wildlife education nonprofit Wild Wise, told the Sooke News Mirror that Ollie has been spotted “doing nefarious things” with the bodies “for days on end” after their deaths.
