This is a giant otter. These are two jaguar sisters named Medrosa and Jaju. They are engaged in a standoff near Panthera’s research station in Southern Brazil. Jaguars have a diet of primarily caimans and capybaras … but these sisters seem intent on possibly broadening their dietary horizons. This individual was able to scare off the two jaguar sisters. Giant otters are carnivorous and have acute agility in the water. Some local tribes have dubbed them “aquatic jaguars." The otters form social groups to help maintain control of their territories and to protect one another. In this second standoff between a young female jaguar and a family of otters, the otters prevailed again.

Otters aren't typically thought of to be fierce animals, but they can handle a fight when necessary. What do you think of these giant otters and jaguars squaring off?

[Goodvybesonly]

Jaguar gang: “Jungle wide.”


Otter gang: “Water side!”

[lot]

There is an old saying "if there is one chopstick, we can break it easily, but if there are bundle of chopsticks, we cannot break it?"

[SomeoneCommenting]

I like the funny noises that they make when they are not squeaking.

[cheezycount]

A curious jaguar is no match to a bunch of feisty otters.

The Otters were jumping and screaming Gang Gang🤔, I think they might just be a part of the Underwater Crime World😅. I tried, but everyone at my job gave this joke 10👎🏽☹️.

how can jaguars kill armored prey like caimans but not giant otters? Were these two jaguars just too inexperienced with an otter to view it as prey?

[MyRickynOlivia]

Me: watches the guy who has two otters as pets...thinking awe so cute and adorable.
Also me: searches for when otters attack and how they shouldn't be kept as pets.
Watches video goes hey the guy has the best guard otters around.

The autters are defenetly laufing at the poor jaguar

[bogan]

The reason the otters do this is because the Jaguar is the only actual person thing above them on the scale.

They have to group up, and use their number advantage to scare the Jaguar off because they know that when they’re alone they don’t stand much of a chance.

JAGUAR be like
*I don't wanna Die*

[Diwana]

I love it every time I see this. Partisan for otters. Though I love Jaguars too.

[ja_line]

That is really not a fight or conflict at all, it is more of a face off rather than life on the line.

[kinoeclux]

The 2.3 k dislikes were from the jaguars who have recently lost a fight to the otters.

[patrickconnell]

River otters are ferocious and are more likely the wolverine of the waters. Basically an apex predator in that pack situation, they also hunt caiman

[stevejamieson]

What would be really scary is if the Honey Badger also was living in that environment. Where they worked cooperatively with their Giant River Otter cousins. The Mustelid Mafia would literally run that place with a reign of terror not seen before.

[Herbster]

Notice the otters never leave the water...

[vanessapangkey]

Thank goodness the jaguars didn’t jump in the water.

[signoguns]

If they got hold of that jaguar they would be able to overpower it and kill it easily. There's footage of an otter family swarming a caiman and mauling it to death. They're ferocious little animals.
