While on the boat, Donellas witnessed a commotion in the water and noticed an otter frantically swimming towards his boat to escape a killer whale. The whale’s dorsal fin was visible as it approached the otter. Donellas could not believe his eyes when the otter suddenly emerged from the water and sought refuge on his boat.

Donellas appeared incredulous as he recorded the incident. He invited the otter onto the boat while the killer whale continued to swim around. The otter stayed on the boat for a few minutes, then returned to the water for a while before deciding to stay on the boat.
