The giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically containing three to eight members. They live in extremely cooperative and coordinated groups. They are generally a peaceful species, but are territorial and can use aggression if necessary.
Giant otters are usually active during the day and are the loudest of their species. They locate their aggression, comfort or warnings.
The species was placed on the endangered species list in 1999, as its number quickly fell to 5,000. The main reason was poaching during the 1950s and 1960s.
