Zuma is the PAW Patrol pup associated with water rescues and aquatic equipment. He is an enthusiastic orange pup whose missions commonly involve boats, underwater searches, and helping people in or near the water.
Zuma’s uniform and equipment are orange, distinguishing him from the other core pups. His principal vehicle is a hovercraft that can travel across both land and water, making it useful for shorelines, lakes, and flooded areas.
Zuma is sometimes described simply as the team’s water-rescue pup, while other references emphasize his underwater role. Both descriptions point to the same character, but the series gives him a wider aquatic-rescue function rather than limiting him to diving alone.
