Reminds me of a boat trip in the Pantanal.  There was
no sign of Giant River Otter. Someone played a tape,
and within a few moments several very large and agitated
Giant River Otters approached the boat, vocalizing and 
baring their teeth, to challenge the otter they heard.
They swam around the boat, searching, for a few heart-
stopping moments.  When no otter could be found, they 
vanished again.
  
I can only imagine the effect of an angry two meter-long 
otter trying to climb into our boat!
