Zuma uses a hovercraft for water rescues in PAW Patrol.
Zuma is the team’s aquatic-rescue specialist. His orange vehicle can travel across water and land, making it suited to missions involving lakes, rivers, harbors, and other watery locations. The hovercraft is one of the original team’s signature vehicles.
Zuma is a chocolate Labrador Retriever and is usually associated with an orange uniform. His role differs from Skye’s aerial work and Everest’s snow-and-ice rescues, even though all three characters have vehicles designed for specialized environments.
The vehicle is sometimes loosely called a boat, but “hovercraft” is the specific term used for Zuma’s original rescue vehicle. That distinction identifies the correct answer more precisely.
