Giant otters are one of the toughest creatures in the Amazon jungle. Not only are they living in a lake in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, but they are also surrounded by three hundred black caiman, anaconda, jaguar and puma. Diablo the giant otter also has six unruly pups to keep from harm, and educate in the ways of the jungle. This otter dad certainly has his paws full. Leading wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton-James follows the family in their remarkable location over the course of a whole season, through their ups, downs, and the start of a new generation of otters.

the jungle is an absolutely crazy place. You can be brought down by a gang of otters

[dorahthedestroyer]

imagine walking through the forest without knowledge of giants otters and you suddenly hear what sounds like a tribe of savage spongebobs and find a dead caiman on the river bank

“The Caiman refuses to back down”

Caiman: I’m stuck in the corner

[Alteori]

Otters: cute and cuddly on the weekdays
Also Otters: slaying water dragons on the weekends

[bbofun]

The fact that they sound like laughing children just makes this high-octane nightmare fuel.

imagine having to go to caiman afterlife and explaing to your father that instead of being killed in a vicious battle for food or territory you were jumped by a bunch of otters and their kids

[Aufnahmesfreiheit]

I'm impressed by the otters' ability to wage psychological warfare by means of terrifying battle cries

[bladerj]

hearing them "laughing"i can now understand why discovers had stories of water children into their folklore.

[Atombender]

Caiman: "Free food!"
Otters: "Free handbags!"

[uglyken]

The creepy child laughter playing as a croc drowns its like a Stephen King adaption

The probability of getting killed by otters is low. But never zero...

[jarretm]

Crew: Sir, we found out 2 of the baby otters died.
Director: ... Show the fight clip again but with sad music this time.

A boy sees an alligator in the zoo and shouts "Hey are you a caiman?"

"I'm alright, thanks kid" he replies

[jayh]

Crocodile: *apex predator unchanged for 200 million years*
Otters: so you have chosen death

[GoldenPenHD]

Caiman: Aw man, they’re going to make fun of me in Crocodile heaven.

[zachary]

You guys don't realize, these are "giant river otters" aka "river Jaguars". The males can get up to 5 foot 6.

To those who are shocked to see this,

1. Giant River Otters are not your normal next door otter. They are bigger, stronger, more agile, hunt in large group, like Wild Dogs in Africa

2. Caiman is NOT a crocodile, that appears in your nightmare or Gustave, Lake Placid & Crawl. They are the least aggresive species of the family & most of them are a size of monitor lizard.

This is a horror movie to the caiman, killed by a bunch of laughing psychos.

Nobody is safe once you hear *WAWAawaAwaaw!* coming from The Otter Gang.
