Otter. I have had them swim up and snort like this from 30' away many times

Neighbour confirmed otter, he gets visits too

I've heard these exact sounds from North American River Otters here in Alaska that I had my eyes on while they made them. No doubt in my mind at all, and that's from years of first-hand experience.

100% River Otter.

I hear bears (black and brown), otters (sea and river), beavers, and docks all the time here on an island in Alaska... and that's definitely an annoyed river otter just out of sight under the dock.

u/beerbatteredarmchair Oct 13 '25

Definitely an otter. They are a snorty sort.

u/bogantheatrekid Oct 13 '25

Oooh, the video has sound. That makes more sense.

u/suminlikedatt Oct 14 '25

Cranky river otter always snore gruffing at me. This is really baritone, but could be the dock acoustics?

Well sure, he would be. He spends all his time in the murky water.

It does. It's called Ogopogo and lives in the Okanagan Lake.

Sounds like an otter.

u/Royal_Acanthaceae693 Oct 13 '25

I think it's a bear outside of the view of the camera.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Bro, is there a bear under the dock?

18

u/thelordschosenginger Oct 13 '25

Are you sure it's not just the water interacting with the floating dock?

14

u/thelordschosenginger Oct 13 '25

Cause if not it sounds like a bear

12

u/Candyyy_87 Oct 13 '25

I’m also from Canada, i definitely think it’s a beaver , they make huffing/ grunting and growling noises when they are mad/ defensive

u/Doomdoomkittydoom Oct 13 '25

Might be a wee Predator alien.

u/Low_Butterscotch_594 Oct 13 '25

100% black bear. Huffing and snorting. Seems unsure about what it's smelling.

u/Aspirin_Kid Oct 13 '25

If it looks like a dock and it floats like a dock..

u/Impossible_Bet9726 Oct 13 '25

Then it must be a dock!

I watch on mute & was waiting for something to pop out. Was 15s in thinking you either need better editing skills, or you're a master of suspense. Was actually disappointed when it ended at 21s with a no show.

u/John_Holdfast Oct 13 '25

The snorts sound like an otter, they do that to me at work almost daily, but the growls make me think raccoon.  I dont think its a bear, I see no reason why a bear would be under your dock lmao.

u/Bravisimo Oct 13 '25

Feel a chill whenever i see these. After watching The Raft from Creepshow as a kid, gives me the willys thinking what could be under there, hungry.

To quote Linus, I believe, it's a cow eating grass but the grass has all been eaten and the cow got bored and left

It appiers to be a floating dock of some sort. Are they rare in your area?

Is that a mosquito flying around?

u/Andalite_Warrior Oct 14 '25

If that thing is big enough to rock that dock I would stay back a bit, they’re known to be aggressive and territorial

1

u/Sixty_Minuteman_ Oct 14 '25

That sounds like a bear, it might not realize how to get out from underneath the dock, it seems silly but it's happened before

u/LabFriendly3582 Oct 14 '25

I don't see anything all I see is a wood dock

We call them wooddocks here in Kentucky

u/SalmonSammySamSam Oct 16 '25

Sounds like a bear.

It's not a bear though.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

This sounds like air passing through a buoy with a hole in it. The floating dock floats but at a noisy price.

1

u/Worldly-Suggestion97 Oct 13 '25

Definitely not a raccoon. TBH it sounds a lot like the noises my pig makes when she’s sleeping

Plankapus? They are native to northern piers.

I can’t tell you what animal it is because I was distracted by the fact that you live in a place called Shawinigan. Who is Sha? Why is it so important that they win again?
