This manual is a second edition to the “Husbandry and Management of the Giant Otter
(Pteronura brasiliensis)” (Sykes-Gatz 2001). This revised, expanded, and updated version
should be used as replacement for the 2004 manual that was distributed in the ISIS 2004
CD Library, the 2004/2005 version previously distributed with a similar name, as well as
the 1st edition manual just aforementioned. The guidelines within this manual should be
used instead of the recommendations for giant otters presented within the “Zoo Standards
for Keeping Otters in Captivity” (2002, 2003 & 2004) AZA Otter Species Survival Plan
(SSP).
