Here's a Giant Otter from our Pantanal, Brazil tour.  These guys can be difficult to photograph as they tend to stay in the shade when they are fishing, the light was contrasty here but I liked the feeding pose.

Nice one, Nate. You did well on the exposure with the existing light. Looks like the otter is really enjoying the meal - good feeding pose!

What fascinating creatures they are, and this one looks like it thinks lunch is lip smacking good! A nice result in the difficult light conditions Nate.

I agree, the feeding pose is super. Nice capture of the details in the mouth.
