Lobo del rio

Debbie W was telling me about how she saw these amazing giant otters (tarquin) in the peruvian amazon- I didn't believe her.

The Giant Otter, Pteronura Brasiliensis, also known as the 'river wolf' is native to South America and is a rare but endangered species. The Giant Otter can reach up to 6ft in length. The river wolf has a lifespan of 12yrs, is a highly social animal and lives in extended family groups.
