Giant Otter - Yorkshire Wildlife Park
These 2 were siblings - chasing each other around the water, in and out. It was an absolute nightmare getting a close up of them quickly enough as they were going underwater, then as soon as you thought you'd got them - they would surface 10m away!
The giant otter is a South American carnivorous mammal. It is the longest member of the Mustelidae, or weasel family, a globally successful group of predators, reaching up to 1.7m. Atypical of mustelids, the giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to eight members.
