People that devote their lives caring for animals are respected and revered beyond almost anything else in my heart. bless.

[@Killssouls]

I agree completely. I think I just found my soul animal.

[@LS-ov7mb]

I hope people help them so they can keep helping animals.

[@adityaiyer4274]

I heaved a sigh of relief only when I saw at last that Reva was alive and well. Splendid work by Diane, May her legacy continue.

DIANE McTURK IS ONE HELL OF A TRUE WOMAN THAT DEDICATED HER LIFE TO ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS!!! AMAZING LADY!!!

What a generosity of Spirit this woman has…and how beautiful the giant otters she has devoted her life to. Thank you for sharing this.🖤🇨🇦

[@Killssouls]

She is truly a remarkable person. I believe there is a special place in heaven for people like her. May peace be upon her soul and I pray that someone has stepped up to take her place. Peace to her and all animal conservationists out in the world trying to make a difference.

[@nickiewhite5350]

God bless this women for she is something special!!!

[@AviationNut]

Wow, she is got a lot of energy for a 74 year old woman. If her finances are so bad, then she should set up a go fund me page, I am sure animal lovers would donate to her cause, I know i would definitely donate something. She seems like the kind of lady that if she had her last $5 dollars she would rather feed her animals then her self, she is the the kind of person that you just know donations would not go to waste with her in charge. It pisses me off that people all over the world donate money to these huge charity organizations, where the organizers fill their own pockets with money first before giving what ever is left over to people in need and this poor old woman is having a hard time surviving because she gets very little financial help. I really wish I could help her some how get more money for her sanctuary but I don't even know where to start and how to contact her to set up something.

marinela ronquillo omg no way that’s so sad the world has lost something amazing that is in someone so special that’s so sad I hope someone is continuing her work!!!

[@roguewolf7053]

Many of these documentaries posted to KZbin are old and those we admire in them already passed on. Had their efforts been during this time where people can easily donate & support them via social media I wonder how much more they could’ve accomplished? 😕 But it makes me more determined to try and find those doing such things today and offer any support I can. But alas they seem very rare.

[@richardhertz749]

@@marinela2262 would you know if anyone continued her work? Perhaps a protege or young wilderness scientist?? the article just said that they mourned her loss and cherish the legacy she lived behind in her beloved Guyana. It doesn't have an update as to what ever happened with her land and the otters.

I thought I saw a Seal just now here inside our private inherited lands Sumatra, Indonesia while I was walking alone in the dark with only pocket torch in my hand without carrying phone. But with legs?Then I pointed the flashlight, yeah! They were 3 big wild Sumatran Otters. They went into the river of our jungle. Be safe, stay away from human, don't go out of the jungle.

[@CajunPride777]

3men there and one boy and none of them went get water. They let the 74yr old woman go fetch it smh

Come on guys it was a great story was a reality yes and no the story was a good one but I don't believe that the animal really knew the old lady made believe that that was the animal she raised cuz the animal looked scared if the animal knew her she won't be scared like that but I ain't mad great story

Let them survive on their own Giant River Otters are a pest.

[@MarouaneTF]

They arent a pest they are war criminals these mf scare anacondas caimans and 3ven jaguars yes fucking jaguars thats speaks for itslelf

[@kyngpapi]

Can they be domesticated

[@MarouaneTF]

Ginat otters are monsters bro they would kill you if you touch their rivers they even scare jaguars they are terrifying so no rhese giant Otters cant be domesticated but i think there are some other species rhzt can

[@marekciostek1458]

:D

[@bmell1252]

Don’t know if they do this or can afford to do this in that country, but a donkey, mule, jackass, or whatever... will protect the horses, cattle, sheep, or whatever. I’m not sure how they’d do if THEY were the target of a silent stalking jaguar, but they might get the upper hand if a jag went for a herd member first. One kick or bite from a donkey and that jaguar won’t want to tangle again with an animal that could permanently injure it. They use them here in the states to guard against panther/mountain lion, cougar all names for basically the same animal, just in different regions. Anyway, my point is, for someone who wanted to help save jaguars, would it not be a good idea to donate donkeys to the farmers? The farmers could breed their donkeys, milk the donkey, that would pay for its feed and care and they can replenish their own “supply” as older ones pass away. Am I way off here???

[@lizziesangi1602]

Why do people think Otters can be pets? Baby Otters are poached, arrive by mail in cardboard boxes, dead or almost dead. It's a sin.
