Otter Bites Triathlete 25 Times, Reminds Us Why Exercise is Bad

Don't you hate people who exercise all the time, eat fruit and stuff, and make you feel like a fat, lazy slob?

Well, one fitness freak finally got what she deserves for making the rest of us look like losers. Triathlete Leah Prudhomme was swimming across a Minnesota lake this weekend when an insane otter went ballistic and chomped her 25 times, reports StarTribune:

In the middle of Island Lake near Duluth, the triathlete struggled as the animal sunk its needle-sharp teeth into her legs, feet and back, leaving 25 bite marks, some 2 inches deep. "It just kept coming after me," said Prudhomme, 33, of Anoka. "You never knew where it was going to bite next."

Most otters aren't this bats**t crazy, so she had to take a rabies test. But we think the little devil is just a badass who's sick of health nuts clogging his lake. He totally needs a nickname and a cartoon named after him. "I'm Ozzy the Insane Otter! Oy!" Though based on events in Minnesota, the cartoon otter will be Australian. What?
