These South American giant river otters belong to the world's largest river otter species, measuring up to six feet in length. They are huge members of the weasel family and are well adapted for life in the water, swimming by propelling themselves with their powerful tails and flexing their long bodies. They also have webbed feet, water-repellent fur to keep them dry and warm, and nostrils and ears that close in the water. Found only in the rivers and creeks of the Amazon, Orinoco, and La Plata river systems, t​he giant river otter has become rare or nonexistent over most of its range. Historically, this decline was largely due to commercial fur hunting for pelts, but in more recent years, the species greatest threat comes from habitat loss and increased human activity. Water pollution, ​especially due to gold mining, fossil fuel exploration, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers are among some of the top threats to giant river otters. You can help protect your local aquatic species by keeping your yard free of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, reducing the chance of harmful chemicals making their way into the waterways many species and communities depend on.
