BBC Amazon Abyss 2005

The awesome Amazon is wider and deeper at some points than the English Channel, flowing 6,500km across South America.
It’s famous for the surrounding rainforest, which can take visitors by surprise because it is not all thick tropical jungle.
Amazon creatures
The waters too are home to incredible creatures. Here are some of the most amazing featured in the programmes.
Giant otter Pteronura brasiliensis
The Amazon’s rarest large mammal now lives only in the most remote parts of the region.
It’s an intelligent, social animal and at 1.8m long when fully grown, is one of the top predators of the region’s freshwater fish. Partial to shellfish and crabs, the giant otter carries a favourite rock around to help it break open shells.
The world’s biggest species of otter faces very high risk of extinction, according to the World Conservation Union (the IUCN). No longer hunted for its fur, the giant otter’s survival now depends on protection of the areas in which it lives from destruction and pollution.
More about the giant otter in Wildfacts or watch video on the external ARKive site.
