When you don’t see them in relation to an adult, baby giant river otters look a lot like the regular river otters we get in the United States. They’re similar in size, and haven’t yet developed the characteristic yellow splotches on their chests. The above baby otter was playing with a few of its siblings until the mother came along (below) and ushered them further down the riverbank.

Look at those baby teeth! Wonder how big the second set of teeth will be….or don’t they get new ones?
Ok. I could keep one of these as a pet though, right?!
If only there was a soundtrack to go with that picture. . . or was it a quiet scream?
Shardae, I don’t think you would like the teething phase.
Angelina, at one point I saw seven of these babies and they emit a bit of a soft, high-pitched squeal.
Their noses are sort of reptilian – that plus the teeth and I think they’re pretty damn scary.
