A killer otter is terrorising a village
Fishkeepers in Martock have installed an electric fence on the perimeter of the pond where the otter has killed dozens of Koi Carp.
Oliver George has lost six fish worth £5,000 to the murderous mammal and has also installed motion-sensor alarms, cameras, a floodlight and a fake heron in a bid to protect the water.
He told The Sun newspaper: "It's terrifying. I can only think it's a giant otter because some of these fish weigh a ton.
"One neighbour found the body of a fish halfway down a track. This otter is just taking fish for the sake of it."
Dave Webb, from the Wild Otter Trust, explained that the animals hunt in ponds for easy food when rivers are flooded.
He said: "Once in they are like kids in a sweet shop."
