All otters are assholes regardless of their size. There was a case a couple years ago in Montana of a woman being mauled by river otters. They damn near ripped her face off and tried to drown her. And these weren't even the roided out Amazonian otters. Just normal river otters.
NSFW on that link. There's your warning.

My brain tells me these are not real and otters don't get this big, but they definitely exist!
I am actually very surprised that I have never heard of these before. Thank you!

these things will, if turned undead, absolutely annihilate a dwarf fortress

Maybe Ewan McGregor will like them.

Went camping for a night out in the remote Amazon jungle, accompanied by local guides. The next morning we were trekking and heard a strange buzzing and hissing sound. It filled the rainforest and sounded like we stumbled into a witches coven or something. There was loud whooping and whistling, but more than anything - this ominous chorus of sustained droning.
Turned out it was a pack of giant Amazon river otters in the water. These guys get as big as 6 ft. The sound was freaky and they were bearing their fangs at us trying to intimidate, swimming in an agitated manner. No doubt they could have ripped us to shreds if they wanted to. We had higher ground and kept our distance. I managed to take a short video.
After a couple minutes they climbed out of the water and galloped into the jungle. And I mean it when I say galloped. We couldn’t believe how fast they could move on land.
I firmly believe that these are the last animals you would want to come face to face with in all of the Amazon. I would rather face a jaguar than a mob of angry giant river otters.
Short Video (OC): https://files.catbox.moe/phsta3.mov Wish the phone picked up the low end of the droning better.

That's amazing, simultaneously cute and terrifying

Are all those different noises coming from the otters? That's so scary

Thanks for sharing, that was a cool encounter!

That is a wild experience, closely followed by what just happened when my cats heard that video.

Could you imagine if Brian Jacques had added six foot river otters into Redwall?

I honestly always thought Giant Otters only existed in D&D.

You seem to have linked a video that's narrated by AI and has AI photo generation to pad out the video.
Here's one by BBC Earth: https://youtu.be/DWglDPNnvnA
