What is a "bush dog"?

The bush dog is a small, elusive species of wild dog that is native to Central and South America. They are known for their unique appearance, with a stocky build, short legs, and a dense, dark brown coat. Bush dogs have short, rounded ears and a short, bushy tail. They are highly social animals that live in packs and are known for their cooperative hunting behaviors. They primarily hunt small mammals, such as rodents and pacas, as well as birds and amphibians. Bush dogs are well-adapted to life in dense rainforest habitats and are excellent swimmers, often hunting in aquatic environments. They are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation, and conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their populations and habitats.
