Officials are warning swimmers and surfers in California to be aware as capture efforts are underway for a sea otter that has been acting aggressively toward humans.

A team trained in the capture and handling of sea otters from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium are working together to capture the animal.
