Best Answer

Giant Otters are carnivores and, along with Black Caimans and Jaguars, are one of the apex predators of the Pantanal. Giant Otters are normally piscivores, meaning they normally eat fish, and are capable of killing fish up to the size of arapaima. However, Giant Otters are very tough predators and are capable of killing predators of the size of 3 meter Yelllow Anacondas and Spectacled Caimans.

Otters catch food with their clawed paws. They eat mostly fish, crabs, and crawfish, but also frogs and smaller mammals.
