The giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to ten members. They have deep brown coloured fur that is dense, thick, velvety and water repellant. They have a unique white mark around the throat area that can be used to identify different individuals. Giant Otters also have small ears that close when they go underwater and short legs with webbed toes and sharp claws. They tend to set up their nests in the banks of slow moving rivers and lakes as this is safer for their young.
