Las Otters (nutrias) son aun comunes en nuestros rios....Son animales que disfruto mucho poder ver.

Ah, el problema con los nombres comunes. Perdona mi implicación que no son correctos. Traducción puede ser incorrecta, ya que estoy usando Google Translate para traducir del Inglés al Español.

That's definitely an otter, a nutria is what you folks sometimes call a Coypu

I think you may have the scientific name correct, but the common name is "Neotropical River Otter" not nutria, which is a different animal. Great photos of a rare animal!
