This image is after the Jaguar had attacked an otter cub, it then went to finish the cub off and was promptly attacked by the other otters.

This past week we documented the first jaguar giant otter predation event.
This female jaguar we know as Ãgue has been stalking this otter den for over a month. We have seen her resting on top of their latrine and sleeping at the entrance of the den. 3 weeks ago we posted a video from our camera trap of her going into the den while the otters where inside. We aren’t sure why this otter family didn’t move their cubs to a safer den before this happened.
The otters attacked Ãgue and got their cub back but it was too late for the cub, the powerful bite of the jaguar had already killed the cub. ———————————————————————— These wildlife interactions we witness here in Porto jofre are invaluable to understanding the conservation of these two apex predators. Please share with us any photos or videos of this event."

Incase any of you were wondering about the capabilities of a River Otter clan, almost all I spoke with said if a Jaguar enters the water with a decent sized clan that the Jaguar would be dead. River Otters are extremely capable and vicious hunters.
