Time to move house! A family of giant otters move from one riverbank holt (if the giant otter has the same den name as regular land otters!) to another, including all the kitts. The little ones don't find it easy to climb up to the new abode.
The name in Portuguese is 'ariranha', which comes from the tupi-guarani indigenous name for the creature, water-jaguar. This top predator lives in family groups, and they are very defensive should you get too close to their holts, surrounding boats, making their version of the jaguar roar, and showing lots of large, white hunting teeth. They're not always cute!
