0:01NARRATOR: Today, in the wetlands of the Amazon,
0:04one bizarre-looking dog has evolved a dastardly tactic.
0:12With the muzzle of a bear, the webbed feet of an otter,
0:22and a strange shaggy tail, it's easy to think
0:28this isn't a dog at all.
0:32But this unusual canine is a jungle specialist,
0:41called the bush dog.
0:47Although, they can look more like a werewolf.
0:56Bush dogs live in gnarly gangs of up to 12 members.
1:02And they keep in touch with each other with squeaks and yelps.
1:12But it's the way they catch their prey
1:15that's really unique.
1:19Because bush dogs can hunt in the water.
1:27They're after elusive jungle rodents, like agoutis.
1:38They chase them into deep pools.
1:45Having webbed feet means bush dogs are strong swimmers.
1:55But they can also dive underwater, staying submerged
2:04for more than 30 seconds.
2:10With their prey out of their depth,
2:14the bush dogs finish them off.
2:22Once a bush dog makes a kill, the gang get together
2:27to share in the spoils.
