In this image from video a sea otter that has evaded capture eats a crab off the coast of Santa Cruz, Calif., Wednesday, July 19, 2023. The sea otter launched into the national spotlight after images of her aggressively wresting surfboards away from surfers circulated on social media is building a fan club as she continues to evade capture.
Federal and state wildlife officials did not return messages from The Associated Press seeking comment Thursday on their effort to catch otter 841. The team trying to capture her has used a baited surfboard. She’s gotten on it multiple times in the past few days, according to Woodward. But as soon as a wildlife official towing the surfboard carrying her gets near the team's boat, she dives off, he said.
Otter 841 was born in captivity and released into the wild in June 2020. She is tagged with her number and has a radio transmitter that officials have been monitoring to keep tabs on her.
