As of today, in season, building toward peak (~August 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
In the Brazilian Pantanal, giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis) excavate dens along riverbanks, primarily during the dry season, which runs from June to October.
Births typically occur between August and September, with pups emerging from the dens in October and November.
This period offers a unique opportunity to observe the early life stages of these endangered mammals in their natural habitat.
