A giant river otter has been spotted in the waters of El Impenetrable Chaqueño National Park in northeastern Argentina for the first time in at least 100 years. The species was thought to have become extinct in Argentina over the past three decades.

The discovered individual was the company of three giant river otters that flew to Argentina from faraway lands. Coco and Alondra were brought to the region from Denmark and Hungary and are currently being held in Ibera Park (in the neighboring province of Corrientes). Another otter named Nanai recently arrived in the country from Sweden, but remains in quarantine until it is allowed to enter the Ibera Park. The novichok found in the Bermeggio River is the fourth, and also the only, member of the species currently living in the country in natural conditions.

The animals reach a length of 1.8 m and weigh up to 33 kg. They are found in large rivers and swampy areas of northern and central South America.

Groups of such otters were sighted in the 1980s in Misiones province, but otters in the Bermeggio River have not been seen for more than a century.

Alondra and Coco, a couple from Ibera Park, recently gave birth to three beautiful cubs. These are the first giant river otters to be born in Argentina after decades on the verge of extinction. The cubs were born on May 19.
