Giant River Otter

== Roleplays that feature this creature ==
* Pleistocene in South America
== Other info ==
Parents will quickly have another litter if the majority or entirety of their previous litter dies at a young age. Cubs do not leave the den until they are around 2-3 weeks old, and will not begin regularly following their parents out of the den until they are 1 month old, which is also when they open their eyes for the first time.
Cubs are weaned at the age of 3-4 months, and at the age of 9-10 months, they will have learnt how to hunt by themselves and appear similar to adults, although they won't be ready to have cubs of their own until they are 2 years old. 
In shallow water, giant river otters will usually hunt alone, but in deeper water it is common for them to hunt alongside their family.
