Photo of the Day: giant otter
Flickr user Max Waugh Photography was on a nature excursion in the Peruvian Amazon when he came upon this unique species of giant otter, popping its head above the glassy water surface. I love the photo's close up details - the animal's elongated neck, wiry whiskers and curious stare. With great nature shots like this one, it's particularly important to get as close (as is safe) or zoomed in to your subject as possible.
Have any great travel photos from your recent journeys? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.

Otter in Brazil is called of Ariranha, or Lontra. In spite of being dangerous it is very beautiful.

Was this perhaps in the Tambopata region? I promote responsible travel to that area via my company Tambopata Travel - these enigmatic animals are part of most of our rainforest experiences, fascinating to say the least!
