I was reading an article in Time today about Yasuni National Park in Ecuador. Some scientists consider this area to be the most biodiverse spot on the planet. What I found the most amazing is that the park is home to 28 threatened or near threatened vertebrate species. One of these species is the giant river otter which can grow to nearly 7 feet. Wait, what? SEVEN FEET?! Holy crap, that's huge. Can you imagine seeing an otter that's 7 feet?
What I learned: The giant river otter can grow up to 7 feet long.
That is insane. That's a foot taller than Ben. I can't imaging a Ben-sized otter walking...er...swimming around. That would be freaky!
