Bush Dog: Speothos venaticus
"It is one of the most unusual looking dogs, as they look like weasels or otters. This is probably due to the fact that they spend a lot of time in and around the water. Its coloration is a reddish brown with a darker brown tail and often has a lighter patch under its throat. It has small round ears, a short tail, short legs, and a rounded skull with a short muzzle. Their feet are webbed."
