SUCCESSION star Crystal Finn is the latest victim of an otter attack after she was mauled by the animals in California.<\/p>\n
Her terrifying encounter follows the news of another American woman being attacked earlier this week by the savage beats.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Crystal had been swimming in the Feather River near Plumas National Forest when a raft of vicious otters set upon her.<\/p>\n
The actress, who played Lauren Pawson in season 4 episode 8 of HBO drama Succession, required hospital treatment after being bitten on her bottom and leg.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, she said: "I felt something on my backside and on my leg.<\/p>\n
"I started looking around and yelling out and [the otters] popped up right in front of me. Then they dove down and started going at me again.<\/p>\n
"I could see the bites on my legs and knew I had been bitten on my butt\u00a0\u2014 that one was the worst, but I couldn\u2019t see it. The bites really hurt."<\/p>\n
Following her treatment for the injuries at Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee, Crystal admits that she had been unaware otters could be dangerous.<\/p>\n
And had she spotted them before her dip they "wouldn\u2019t have given me pause."<\/p>\n
"I would have thought, 'Oh those cute river otters,'\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
