#swamp spaniel

[doomspaniels]

The swamp spaniel often shares territory with the skunk spaniel. Somewhat shy, it uses its natural protective coloration and superior speed to evade predators and catch prey. It relies on sharing burrows with mutualistic species for shelter, often fully relaxing when not on the move. In its refuge it is an expressive social animal, with several unique vocalizations meaning anything from "play" to "food" to "danger."

The skunk spaniel, native to the wetland areas of the southeastern United States, has widely recognized conspicuous markings and a piercing warning bark to alert predators that it is not approachable. It hunts boldly, its stark plumage standing out well in the long marsh grasses and sandy brush of its home environment. It builds a camouflaged nest in a safe, cool niche where it can watch over its territory from safety.
