I think you're talking about the wrong species of otter if you want to compare to a honey badger. The Giant Otter which is endemic to South and Central America is the one that has the real body count.
Yes, they're known as the river wolves. Incredible creatures. They are the worldās largest otter reaching up to 1.8 meters long! And they live in groups. Because of their massive size, strength and swimming speed they compete successfully for fish with black caimans and jaguars. It only lives in the rivers, creeks and oxbow lakes of the Amazon, Orinoco and the La Plata river. To meet their daily intake quota they must eat three to four kilos of food per day! The diet of a giant river otter consists mainly of fish (they love piranha), crustaceans, snakes and sometimes even small black caimans!
I literally watched a video last week of a honey badger getting kicked by a elephant multiple times because it kept running at it. This is a video of otters getting spooked by an animal slightly smaller than them. They are not remotely the same lol
The Amazon has a giant otters, bigger than river otters, still not that huge, but they are like alpha predators, they chase of jaguar, if they spot caiman they gang up on it and kill it.Ā There are a bunch of videos on here they are super cute.
Gotta be a bot account. Describing otters as the "honey badgers of the river"? And "protect their fishing spot"? What are you talking about? It's cool, but don't make shit up. I was watching it before I ever even read the title. Then I just got angry that the title didn't at all describe the video other than it is technically otters and is technically a crocodile.
Waited the whole time for something to happen, nothing did
The otters bravely ran away
š¶ They were not afraid to die, not brave Sir Otters! š¶
They bravely turned their tails and fled š¶
With their eyes gouged out and their bowels unplugged!
To anyone downvoting. Itās literally the lyrics
That's enough music for now lads
Hahahah dude what a flick. I forgot about that movie
It left a grenade for the croc.
Was it a holy hand grenade by any chance?
No, they were protecting their fishing spot. Didn't you read the title?
I love how they get a kiss at the end when they came back
here is Diablo and his family for better entertainment

The Giant Otter is fearsome. The river wolves.
Now I need to see them.
No, you don't. They're scary
River wolves?! š°š°š°

WOWWWW!! I had no idea of their existence. Thank you so much for sharing; nature is amazing š©·
There used to be even bigger otters roaming the plains of Africa. Now those wouldāve given honey badgers a run for their money.
It was giant otters that took down the caiman in that viral video right?
Well I totally fell for the title and waited for something to happen
I saw the video twice and still missed the part where they protect their fishing spot from a crocodile.
Here you go

Haha...I saw that too
If the video youāre talking about is the same one Iāve seen here it was proven to be ai
This is the original https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOQ7Y72DNmE/? It's not AI.
Little bit of an over hyped title eh?
Misleading title
In fairness, not the biggest croc, is it?
They did not seem to do anything either, not like the amazon otter that kill caimen.
Where is kruger national park?
South-Africa
The what?
Sound on.

Goddamn.

No, but crocodiles develop a very powerful bite force very early in their lives. That young croc will crush an otter with ease.
ok but that looks like a caimen
How exactly did they protect it? They did a dance and both species still there?
Almost looks like they just run scared the entire time and don't do anything to protect their fishing spot.
Fuck this post.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
proper title - Otters easily lose their fishing spot to smallish crocodile.
How is this post getting upvoted? Nothing happend but a little dance near the end.

How are they protecting anything by jumping/running away the entire time?
Is "protecting" in the room with us?
Don't ever compare otters to honey badgers. A badger would've jumped on that croc's back and given them hell.
OP's title is bad and they should feel bad
āProtectingā as in swimming around avoiding the croc that does not end up leaving. wtf is this title
Hmmmm. River otters definitely care. River otters definitely give a fuck.
I remember hearing about a lady getting attacked by a pack of otters.
Otters fuck around with crocs fairly frequently. Often seemingly just for fun.
Doinā what he otter or a reptile dysfunction?
Those aren't badges...
Videos like this make my heart stop.
āThe honey badgers of the riverā¦ā Okay, dumb dumb.
Thatās a cayman; not a croc.
Otters are fierce!
Downvoted for a bait title
Yeah ā¦ whereās the rest of the gang ?!? Iāve seen them chase off Jaguars when the whole gang is there šš»
Clickbait OP
Does the croc not know it can take 'em? Or can the otters do more damage to it than I'm assuming?
Look that little ol gator. The otters about the same dang size!
holy shit this has to be the most dishonest title of all time. go fuck yourself OP
River otters donāt give two fucks
Not a crocodile.
What iz deez aminals?!
better video
He didn't see the otter one.
Didn't know these two could mingle.
I gotcha a dollar š£
Otters donāt play. They went from adorable to meat shredders in that zoo video.
territorial animals like these otters often mark spots with scent to warn intruders
