Dingo
The dingo is a free-roaming dog found mainly in Australia but also in Southeast Asia where the dingo is said to have its origins. It is a subspecies of the gray wolf, Canis lupus. A dingo's habitat ranges from deserts to grasslands and the edges of forests. Dingoes will normally make their dens in deserted rabbit holes and hollow logs, not too far from an essential supply of water. The dingo is the largest terrestrial predator in Australia, and plays an important role as an apex predator. However, the dingo is seen as a pest by sheep farmers, due to frequent attacks on livestock. Conversely, their predation on rabbits, kangaroos, and rats is of benefit to the cattle ranchers. For many Australians the dingo is a cultural icon, and because of this there is the fear of the species becoming extinct as has happened with the thylacine in Tasmania. This is thought to have happened in the 20th century, and the dingo is seen by many as being responsible for their extinction on the Australian mainland about 2000 years earlier. Dingoes also have a prominent position in the culture of Aboriginal Australians as a part of stories and ceremonies and they are also depicted on rock carvings and cave paintings.
Dingo
The dingo (Canis familiaris, Canis familiaris dingo, Canis dingo, or Canis lupus dingo) is an ancient (basal) lineage of dog found in Australia. Its taxonomic classification is debated as indicated by the variety of scientific names presently applied in different publications. It is variously considered a form of domestic dog not warranting recognition as a subspecies, a subspecies of dog or wolf, or a full species in its own right. The dingo is a medium-sized canine that possesses a lean, hardy body adapted for speed, agility, and stamina. The dingo's three main coat colourations are light ginger or tan, black and tan, or creamy white. The skull is wedge-shaped and appears large in proportion to the body. The dingo is closely related to the New Guinea singing dog: their lineage split early from the lineage that led to today's domestic dogs, and can be traced back through the Maritime Southeast Asia to Asia.A dingo pack usually consists of a mated pair, their offspring from the current year, and sometimes offspring from the previous year.
