A rare attack by a river otter in southern Montana injured three women floating on inner tubes and inflicted wounds serious enough that one victim had to be airlifted to

One woman's wounds, on her face and arms, were so severe that a helicopter was used to fly her out, officials said.

Officials admitted they were surprised at the exceedingly rare attack in America’s Montana wilderness, adding: "Bears do it, moose too and occasionally a deer, but otters? That's not normal."

One womans injuries were severe enough to require a helicopter ride from the shores of the Jefferson River to a Bozeman hospital.

The women were floating on inner tubes on Montana's Jefferson River when an otter suddenly attacked them, state wildlife officials said.
