Giant Otter

Giant otters are one of South America’s astounding

animal record-breakers.These charming ‘water dogs’ are
the longest, most powerful otter species, but being big
isn’t their only claim to fame.These proficient predators
have learnt that, by working together, they can tackle
almost any other jungle giant.

Skull
A streamlined skull is lined with
rows of razor-sharp teeth.
These help the otters to grip
wet,wriggling food like fish.
