The text is an excerpt from a video that discusses the behavior and characteristics of giant otters, also known as "water jaguars." Otters are known for their aggression and protectiveness of their territory, which they can do alone or in groups. They are capable of hunting a variety of animals, including fish, small snakes, anacondas, crocodiles, and even large predators such as jaguars.
The video also mentions instances where otters have attacked smaller animals, including a monkey drowning incident in the Bronx Zoo and another case where otters killed and ate a golden lion tamarin in Bristol Zoo. Otters are also known to attack humans, although the video doesn't provide specific examples.
The video ends with the host expressing caution about taking pictures of otters, suggesting that it could provoke an attack. The host concludes by mentioning an incident where a French bulldog named Scooter was attacked by an otter, scaring the owner, Gwen.
