Since last weekend, her behavior has grown noticeably more combative, according to locals.<\/p>\n<p>It appeared that the wild sea otter had developed an obsession for stealing surfboards from Westside surfers. In the water, the otter has snatched six longboards.<\/p>\n<p>Local photographer Mark Woodward, also known online as Native Santa Cruz, posted a video of 841 latching onto a surfer\u2019s board before scaring the owner away on Monday. She then continued to eat while the surfer tried to shoo her away for a while. In another case, a surfer left the board for a group of otters to \u201cromp\u201d with, but the biggest one decided to stick out on the board for a while before a nearby sailing boat was able to save it. This past weekend, 841 allegedly made three attempts to take a surfboard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An amazing video! <br \/>This video of the sea otter attacking a surfboard yesterday was shared me and is being posted with the photographers permission.
