手配中の，お尋ね者: one ornery sea カワウソ that has been attacking California surfers and （軍用に）徴発する／ハイジャックするing their boards.
野性生物 当局 in the city of Santa Cruz, about a 90-minute 運動 south of San Francisco, have 現実に 地位，任命するd a 警告 to the public about the creature, which they say is a five-year-old 女性（の）.
She has been attacking surfers for weeks but of late her marauding has risen to a new level.
In a 素晴らしい ビデオ 地位，任命するd Monday on Twitter, the カワウソ climbs up on one surfer's board, and hangs on as he tries to shake and roll it to get her off. At one point the カワウソ 肺s at him, and 結局 starts biting the board. She is downright relentless.
The 当局 have put out an all-points 公式発表 about this critter.
< p class="mol-para-with-font">"予定 to the 増加するing public safety 危険, a team from CDFW and the Monterey Bay 水槽 trained in the 逮捕（する） and 扱うing of sea カワウソs has been （軍隊を）展開する，配備するd to 試みる／企てる to 逮捕（する） and rehome her," reads a 声明 from the US Fish and 野性生物 Service. CDFW is the 同等（の） California 明言する／公表する 機関.植民／開拓者s in America used to 追跡（する） sea カワウソs for their pelts until the 早期に 20th century, and their numbers dwindled almost to the point of 絶滅.
