They are a top predator and their presence also reflects the health of the ecosystem around them. Find river otters, and you will find healthy streams and rivers.  See them at American Trail! | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute | Facebook

🦦 The giant river otter is one of the most iconic species of Tambopata: over 1.5 meters long, living in family groups of up to 20, communicating with chirps and whistles, and fishing as a team. As fascinating as it is vulnerable—protecting it means protecting the rivers and all life that depends on them.💚 Did you know about this incredible creature?
