Jaguar versus Giant Otters

This incredible encounter was witness as part of our Jaguar watching holiday to the Pantanal in September 2011. We found this jaguar sleeping on the river bank and when the family of giant otters arrived, they were not very happy at all. The range of calls used by the giant otters was incredible and they eventually brought their new born kits from the nearby holt to show them how to react around jaguars. It was very special to see this very important lesson that all giant otters must go through at some point. If you would like to see both wild jaguars and wild giant otters in the Pantanal then please visit our website and browse our range of wildlife watching holidays.
