The clip, shared by @rivergraceful, has been reposted several times across TikTok and other social media platforms, ensuring that nobody now expects to ever get a working phone back from an otter.

TikTokers weren’t massively sympathetic.

Does insurance cover otters?

I react the same way when my phone doesn’t get any service.

Papaya blamed the make of phone case.

Should have gone with Otterbox.

While thegoodcardsshop had a tip.

Just put the phone in rice. Should work after a couple of minutes.

It would have been fine if it had been a Nokia 3310.

Because we can’t pass up the opportunity to show more otters, here’s one having a less devastating smashing time.
