Taking a cue from the orcas, one California sea otter has decided she's had it up to here with all the damn surfers.

Otter '841' confronts them by climbing on the board with a look that says, 'Come at me, bro.'

Who'd a thunk it?

UK immigration minister Robert Jenrick had them painted over.

Why? Per the BBC, "...he believed they sent too welcoming a message."
