At a zoo in Portugal, a seemingly angry otter is targeting a woman's iPhone.
She can only watch helplessly what the actually cute animal is doing with her device.
Imagine someone vandalizing your property before your very eyes.
And you can't do anything about it.
This is exactly what happened to a woman at a zoo in Portugal.
In the Oceanário de Lisboa, the Lisbon Oceanium, her iPhone falls into the pool of water in an animal enclosure.
What an otter does with the device brings the visitor to the brink of despair.
Woman loses iPhone at zoo - otter grabs phone
Several visitors filmed the incident, which probably only uninvolved observers could laugh about.
Densely crowded are the zoo visitors at the railing of the otter enclosure.
Right in the middle: the owner of the mobile phone, who desperately calls to the animal and gestures wildly with her arms.
But in vain: she has to watch the otter demolish her smartphone.
As soon as the device falls into the water, he grabs it and swims purposefully to a rock.
Similar to a cheeky otter lady stealing a surfboard.
Once there, he hits the cell phone with great force against the stone – over and over again.
In a TikTok clip on the
lamosanna0605
channel , it even looks as if the display pane has already cracked.
No wonder, given the strength the otter has.
The TikToker jokes: "He definitely doesn't like the new iPhone 14!
He's so angry!” On the other hand, an otter that cuddles with a kitten needs a lot of cuddles.

Woman loses iPhone at zoo – otter mistakes cellphone for shell
A video of the otter is also circulating on Reddit.
In it, the creator has a completely different explanation for the behavior of the water marten, which some other users also confirm in the comments.
“He probably mistook the phone for a shell.
This is because sea otters bang shells against rocks to break them open.” This is how they get to the meat inside.
The animal's "smartphone attack" had nothing to do with malicious intent.
On the other hand, a monkey teenager who throws stones at zoo visitors has a lot to say about it.
Cold consolation for the woman who now has to get a new cell phone.
