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?
Nat Geo WILD what do i think?lets see them 1v1 the jaguars 😂😂even in the water if they want to
Really surprised me that the jaguar backed off. I've seen them kill medium size crocodiles and haul them back into the bushes.
Nat Geo WILD
Nat Geo WILD fierce is relative...they are playfully, full of personality ..but they are of the weasel family which includes a variety of super fierce members.
John Debest yeah they were camen And there not even close to a medium size crocodile. Even an adult camen isnt even close. Get your facts right.
Jaguar just chillin' Otter gang: 'Where you from, who you with, what's your size?'
JESUS CHRIST will come very soon!
Это проявление разумности в поведении больше чем у человеческого сообщества , Когда мы видим этих животных . Почему человечество не проявляет разумность сейчас, Вы узнаете из видео продукта ""Обманутое человечество "" А. Паламар. This display of a rationality in behaviour is more than at human community When we see these animals. Why the mankind does not show a rationality now, you learn from product video "" the Deceived mankind "" A.Palamar.
I have friends
@@kuamarswmya9722 Thanks for the message. Behaviour of people in a society - the indicator of level of their rationality. All problems of our society can be solved only collectively. It does not depend on a national identity of people and level of their life (business). All of us a product of a plan of God also should live under its programs (laws) Excuse me, but I write only in Russian. To state the thoughts on a foreign language hard for me. It only machine translation.
Agreed
Otter are from the Mustelid family. As a family group including weasals, wolverines, badgers fishers, they have the highest percentage of successful kills per attempts of all mammalian predators. They share super predatory traits which make them powerful and fierce
Wild dogs ar better hunters
High hunting success rates are very common in pack hunting carnivores
@@MarcellusJasonClay it's a statistic related to the entire family of Mustelid, not pack hunters. Wolverines, badgers, weasels, fishers all hunt as solitary predators. It has to do with several traits, including their high metabolism, high energy, keenness, almost hyperattentive/hyperawareness.
Weasel family are the most superb predators... Feline and canine are only secondary to them..
@@ma5839 As well as stoats/ ferrets/ martens. Traits usually refer to actual identical or similar body parts from another source. Such as the dolphin phin and human arm, they are practically identical. We're not talking characteristics as most would.
1:27 they have a big chance getting a gold in synchronized swimming at the olympics 😂
😂
Maybe the silver medal. Everyone knows that Russia buys the gold medal every year.
@@pihuts8921 let's hope Putin's not an Otter hater.
Jokes aside, Theres is something utterly terrifying about the way those otters screamed in unison.
*Otterly
@@Axxxel_in_Harlem bravo
Remember me a indian scream
They were communicating hunger... if that wasnt scary enough. They werent playing around, the Jaguar at no point was the predator here.
Did you hear the Otters yelling, "come on in, the waters fine!"
Remind me of Bo Burnham
Jaguar gang: “Jungle wide.” Otter gang: “Water side!”
Jaguar: Why don't you come on to land Otter: Why don't you come into water Jaguar: No, you Otter: NO, YOU
El jaguar es capaz de cazar en el agua la nutria gigante dudo mucho que sea capaz de cazar en tierra 😋😋🤔
Jaguar would kill the other other in the water or in land
Info: Manuel C.N. Jaguar would easily kill an otter of course. But catching an otter in the water is unlikely, they can outswim anything.
EXACTLY.
@@Manuel-ld7rm Otters would be able to kill the jaguar in the water, they can kill caimans so I'm pretty sure jaguars would lose to the otters in water
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?"
Unity is strength
Ape, together strong
Nah never heard it
@@vikingblood2004 ohh 😁 it's a quote from Southeast Asia. It references to a friendship in the school environment. If you are alone by yourself, you will become vulnerable to be attacked by the bully but if you have alot of friends, bully will have hard time to hurt you.
Ceasar
The jaguars went the otter way!
Marc Jay
O brother! This guy stinks
Lmfaooo
It was an otter defeat
Marc Jay.... I see what you did there😉
Otters are pretty scary 😅😄. I watched this video the other day where they demolished a Caiman
Lol
I was traumatized by that video. I can't never see otters the same again
thats why jaguar dont want to mess with them.. jaguar watched the video
Maybe anaconda will be their next victim lol
Giant River Otters only in the amazon yes lol
I didn't realize it what's the National Geographic channel and read it as Jaguars vs New York Giants
Big Daddy Kane dgfvh jsdsg
Big Daddy Kane lol
Big Daddy Kane need another album plz sir!?
Hahaha so stupid you are
bruh🤣
I bet if one of the jaguars fell in the water, it could just as easily become a meal for the otters.
Those are some really tough otters. These jaguars clearly don't want to be messing with this family. Better luck with just the regular meals for them. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
Azliana Lyana: notice they didn't all have the guts till she ran off.

Otters are known for killing many aquatic beasts like alligators, crocodile etc
MACC PAYNE juvenile caiman only.. even otter's gang cannot kill a caiman older than juvenile.
100th like!
That's the power of teamwork.
I like the funny noises that they make when they are not squeaking.
Giant otter Joe: “Hey Stan, what’s on the menu today?” Giant otter Stan: “Crocodile.” GO Joe: “Aww, I was hoping for anaconda...” GO Stan: “Talk to my youngest, she caught a big one this morning...had to wrestle it from a jaguar.” GO Joe: “...And the jaguar?” GO Stan: “Well, we have a new beach rug.”
Absolute rubbish ..
"we dem boys!"
I like the idea of jaguar sisters. Its so cute. They must have hunted together, slept together since they were cubs.
They're still very young, after a while they will break apart.
What a remarkable show of unity by otters
And why do these ones look like seals?
Intimidation is usually the best survival tactic in the wild
Have a Brazilian friend who has witnessed a jaguar attack on a giant otter. Jaguar killed it quickly. However, has seen jaguar remains near a giant otter den. They can and do attack jaguar, if there is more than one and especially if there are young otters around.
the fight i never thought id watch😅 the lone otter chirping "worldstarrrrrr worldstarrrrrrrr"
otters:what, never see a water ballet ?
what my recent youtube binge has taught me in answer to this question: The Otters will always win
The otters will be mazing at synchronized swimming competition.
This is breathtaking material about 2 predatorspecies who know each other for a while ... LOVE!
A curious jaguar is no match to a bunch of feisty otters.
Otters & Honey Badger 💪
Well done otters, stay strong together
The background music makes it more adventurous 😂
otters just became my favorite animal
This video makes a good point: even if an wild animal is cute and playful (like these otters), it's still wild and unpredictable!
They are giant otters
Otters motto: "United we stand, decided we fall against the Jaguars". Jaguars motto: " let's beat a hasty retreat".
Otters be like me and the boys in a standoff
The jaguars look like they haven't missed many meals, I wouldn't worry about them.
Amazing reaction from these beautiful animals 😁
Hey guys, just saying, one of the jaguars is called Medrosa, wich translates from portuguese to "scared". I guess she's even more scared of otters now
So what I'm getting from my algorithm today is to never mess with our otter overlords. Seems like a valuable lesson.
South American otters are a special kind of otter... the kind that will take on a Jaguar!!! But the little Otters my back yard in Florida, USA are just as ferocious! ALL of these animals in this video look very well fed, don’t they?!? That’s good! 😁😁😁
A battle i ve been waiting for
Amazing otter's fight back 😀
JAGUAR be like *I don't wanna Die*
"You came to the WRONG RIVER FOOL!"
A união faz a força 👏👏👏
that's an amazing moments.... of the wild life for the animals
They are like honey badger in the water office
the jaguar couldn't otter a word and run the otter way
You picked the wrong house, fool!
One on one? Jaguar. More than one giant otter? Giant otter.
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.
they aren't giant otters...! haha.just to be sure you know. giant otters = terrifying. kotaro and hana, not sure they'd be any good!
Those otters are a fierce to be reckon with. Good for the family to naturally protect themselves & their family.
Pumpkin0330 titi a force?
shane Echuveria LMBO
The family that plays together stays together .
they are adorable.. and cute... 😍😍
You can barely see them here. Google them..they are hideous. River otters, however, are adorable.
sea otters and river otters yeah, very cute. but giant river otters are abysmal.
Researcher 1: we call them Jaju and Medrosa New Researcher: well, you see. 2 jaguars here, we'll name them Lilo and amanda.
This is like a game of Whack A Mole where the moles win. ☺
Yes,,, of course. This is example of unity.
I knew right away that the otters would win. As much as I love cats of all kinds, mustelids take the cake when it comes to being brazen. Only the foolish would mess with a mustelid.
Especially in a pack and in their element; water and dark warrens.
Only giant otters and in pack of 10 they could defend themselves from the jaguar (not hunt it). European or North American otters are too small, and not even 10 European/North American otters can do anything to a jaguar. These are giant otters from South America, they are twice as big as other otters subespecies.
@@jameswalker6864 it takes less than 10 giant otters to kill a jaguar, around 2-4 to kill a jag
Jaguar wants no smoke with otters🤣
She’s ran away so funny thank you for sharing very nice 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Um show de imagem natureza sempre bela
Group of otters killed a caiman with victory screech
Jaguars, Anacondas, Caimans, Giant Otters....The Amazon rainforest is a truly terrifying place!
what a riot! Perhaps the west side story soundtrack would enhance it...lol
I've seen a video of those otters killing a caiman. They're pretty badass
Wow why is the Carmen a pray animal for everyone in the Amazon even the dolphins feed on em 😂
@@thatonedinonerd9709 dolphins? Link?
@@thatonedinonerd9709 no
@@aliakbarmaliki3156 its a joke
Fun fact: I just saw footage of a pack of smooth-coated otters in India who did literally the exact same thing to a tiger 🐅 & a mugger crocodile 🐊. They’re literally Asia’s answer to these giant otters but only more social. 👍
Dude what are you on,even a group of them cannot kill a tiger or a croc,that's suicide
@@finchatforharambe905 they can, a large group can kill a tiger in water and also a mugger crocodile
@@kinginblack2845 They can't kill a 20ft saltwater crocodile in water
@@adlibconstitution1609 when did I say anything about a 20 ft croc.....
@@kinginblack2845 it can't unless there are young Average tiger is 250kg and mugger crocodile is 400kg otters can't do that to animal that size
Perfect nature,don't mess with those cute otters.
Otters are no pushover. If that Jaguar had gotten in the water, they would have torn it apart.
Heck no I had no idea that otters beef
Quando eu era pequeno o animal do qual eu tinha mais medo era a Ariranha, desde que eu vi em um livro uma foto de uma Ariranha com os olhos arregalados, os dentes afiados, segurando uma carcaça num rio, a imagem deixou o mini-eu bolado com esse bicho.
Otter battle cry will be awesome
jaguar: ooh food I'm going to eat you giant otter: you want me to bring my gang?
Like! E muito bonita a natureza q o Deus todo poderoso fez!
And Some people say jaguar is the king of jungle... lol
Well duh they can't be king of the water as well
They r lucky
stand 2gether and concur 🔥🔥💪💪
Oh, beautiful nature..
Why does it always have to be VERSUS? lmao. The school system of competition brought even @ adulthood
Because the jaguars would have eaten the otters if given the chance, and vice versa.
Smart enough jaguar to not charge the pack of otters, those Giant Otters can easily drown that jaguar to it's death.
Velvet Worms16 No they can't. But they have sharp teeth.
When they swarm they'll attempt to hold the jaguar down while biting I think it will eventually lead to it drowning - that is assuming it's in water.
Ereck Pizarro I doubt they would be able to do that. Its a jaguar.
Jaguars won't fight a family of otters in the water.. he may drown himself.. they are strong swimmers, but they dont LIVE IN WATER LIKE OTTERS DO..
Actually they do drown their enemies time to time. Saw documentary pack of otters drown a caiman.
Make no mistake these otters will mess you up in a second
I love it every time I see this. Partisan for otters. Though I love Jaguars too.
A number of otters in the water..!!!
1 on 1 jaguar every time.
On the water? i don't think so...
@@letrollei even in water otters have strength in numbers
giant otters are much more agile and faster than the jaguar in the water ... it can kill it! like big cats can kill crocodiles and caimans on land ... but in front of the water they will never succeed! same case of the jaguar and the otter
They look so fancy in their coats
Wow, amazing 👌
The otters were organized and only immature jaguars would even dream of hunting otters. Experienced predators don't waste time on prey they'll never be able to catch...
Hallands Menved Adult Jaguars do kill adult otters if they are caught alone.
Adrian Mayo I'd like to see some proof of that claim. Of course a jaguar will take the opportunity to kill competition if an old, deaf otter or a naive youngster is caught out unawares, but that doesn't constitute hunting. I would also doubt that a jaguar would eat a killed otter. Most predators, who may sometimes kill each other, still won't eat the carcass. Exceptions do exist, but as far as I know only in cases of dire straits ;)
if the otter is full grown and in the water, alone or not, the jaguar has not chance of catching it.. Otters are more aggressive and WAY MORE SMARTER than caiman, thats why they are not on the menu.. i'm sure if a lone adult otter is caught on land the Jaguar would kill it, but I think the Otter has a chance of escaping with sheer aggression ala a wolverine or ratel..
1vs1 the Jaguar would win
Adrian Mayo of course if it’s alone but if its not that jaguar is getting eaten before it gets its meal
São as orcas dos rios 😀 Extremamente unidas, e bem armadas de dentes, nem jacarés se metem com elas, pode ter sucesso em atacar uma, mas os ferimentos causados pelas outras não compensam o risco. A onça teve a atitude correta 😀😀😀
Beautiful, unity is strength
the eerie sounds of the otters tho it’s like in horror movies
I do not know why these guys are laughing, the otters are one of the most dangerous animals in a tropical forest, they can kill crocodiles or any other animal they feel are entering inside their territory. They are not strong by themselves but because they fight as a team, like the Spartans.
Union...is strength
Выдры молодцы) Такие забавные)
Those things are huge!
In general Mustelids never back down from a fight...whether Mink, Wolverines, Honey Badgers or Giant Otters. Those Jaguars are wise to back off.
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👎🏽☹️.
Those people don't have a sense of humor.
