There is an animal profile for Giant Otters on the Philadelphia Zoo website that provides a few adaptation examples. To quickly highlight some of the information found here, the profile says that giant otters have flattened tails that help them to swim underwater faster and maneuver more easily. They also have fully webbed toes. Furthermore, giant otter fur is very dense and prevents water from touching the otter's skin.
Another great place to read more about Giant Otters is the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums The animal profile here offers several brief facts as well as a very cute picture! The otter's sharp claws are mentioned on the Philadelphia Zoo site, but WAZA's fact sheets describes digging as one of an otter's favorite activities. One specific way that they use their claws is to help dig underground sleeping dens. WAZA also describes the otter's family structure. Otters mate for life and live in family groups. Parents and older siblings help to take care of new cubs. As with humans, otters are very social animals.
