Matses with children formerly made great efforts to avoid seeing giant otters, but now that the Matses frequently travel by boat, it is almost impossible to avoid seeing them. Giant otter sickness causes high fever (as does contagion by Neotropical otters), which can be treated with particular medicinal plants (“giant otter medicine”). Other plants used to treat illness caused by Neotropical otters are also used to treat contagion by giant otters.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="8BF336FAFF8BFF8C76F5FE848452FD5A" blockId="63.[684,1215,226,1738]" pageId="63">Giant otters are diurnal. They sleep at night in an undercut bank or some other sheltered place along a river, stream, or lake. They spend much of the day chasing fish, swimming very quickly. They travel far, swimming along rivers and streams. They can swim underwater and are always poking their heads out of the water. They fish for a long time in deep river curves. They play in the water chasing each other.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="8BF336FAFF8BFF8C76F4FD6D83FEFC0D" blockId="63.[684,1215,226,1738]" pageId="63">They make clearings on riverbanks and lakeshores where they eat the fish they have caught. Such clearings are free of all vegetation and look as if they had been swept. Giant otters come back to the same clearings to eat. One clearing is close to their den, and others are further off, often on the bank of a deep curve of a river, or at the mouth of a stream. Such clearings are littered with fish bones and scales and smell of rotting fish.</paragraph>

The females give birth to two young in a burrow, the entrance of which is in the undercut bank of a stream. Males catch fish and take them to feed the young while the female stays with the young. The den stinks like rotten fish and has many flies. Only the female with young sleeps in the den. When the young are strong enough to swim, they abandon the den and sleep in other places (not burrows).</paragraph>
