Super Cute Giant Otter Thought To Be Extinct Spotted In Argentina

Conservationists have been left delighted after a giant otter believed to have gone extinct was spotted in Argentina.

The wild giant river otter was observed at the Bermejo River in El Impenetrable National Park, located in the north-east Argentinian province of Chaco.

A giant otter in the wild hasn’t been seen in Argentina since the 1980s, and this is the first one to be spotted in the Bermejo River for more than a century. It had previously been believed that habitat loss and hunting had driven this rare creature to extinction in Argentina.
