A British man taking an early morning walk in Singapore Botanic Gardens said he was attacked by a pack of wild otters, leaving him with 26 wounds on his buttocks, legs and fingers.

Graham Spencer, in his 60s, was on his usual 6am walk in the gardens on Nov 30, when a “convoy” of about 20 otters ambushed him, causing him to fall, and trampled and bit him.
