Best Answer

otters have a poison sac located in their toungue that can be ejected through a small thorn like gland. It is quickly stabbed into a vulnerable area of its enemy in order for the otter to protect for itself and its young. Otters are not known to kill with their poison, but they give a severe sting much like a bee.
