The Future Giant River Otter

The Giant River Otter lives in the Amazon and has many adaptations they use to survive. Their thick fur keeps them warm while swimming in cold waters. Their webbed feet and a narrow body makes them perfect for swimming. Giant Otters also have whiskers to detect change in currant. Due to climate change, they will need to adapt when the rainforest turns into a wetland from rising seas. More water could lead to more food for these adorable carnivores. More fish could also mean bigger claws so they can grip into the fish. With more food, they may grow from 5 feet long to 7 feet long. Heat rising will cause them to grow lighter colored fur. The otters will need faster, longer legs to catch their prey before others. The road may be rocky or in this case, swampy, but the giant river otter will adapt.
