Dingo

A dingo is a type of wild animal that

is native to Australia. Their fur is
usually a sandy yellow colour but it
depends on where they live. In some
places, their fur can also be black,
white or tan.

According to recent research, it is thought that dingoes

were introduced to Australia over 4000 years
ago and that they are related to south
Asian wolves. Because they are more like
wolves than dogs, dingoes don’t usually
bark, they howl.
Most dingoes live in groups called packs. They
prefer to live in woodland and grassland areas
but can live in a wide range of habitats, as long
as they can find water.
Dingoes are carnivores, meaning they only eat
meat. They will eat rabbits, wombats, wallabies
and kangaroos. They hunt mainly at night.
Dingoes can be seen as pests, mainly by farmers.
This is because they can attack and eat domestic
animals, like cats, dogs and farm animals. Dingoes
also face threats from their habitat being destroyed and
interbreeding with domestic dogs.
