Australian Dingo
A Dingo is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. It is believed to be introduced to Australia by Aboriginals from New Guinea about 3,000 years ago. The Aboriginals called it Warrigal and it was their only domestic animal. Dingos cannot bark, but, let out a mournful cry. Usually Dingos are a ginger colour with white points also black and tan, and also in white.Their bodies can grow to one metre with a extra 30 cm bushy tail. They have large and always erect ears. Dingos live in well-defined groups and roam all of Australia except in Tasmania. Dingos prey on Wombats, Wallabies, Kangaroos and Rabbits.They also prey on sheep and have been considered pests. To exclude Dingos from the eastern states of Australia a fence was erected which came to be known as 'the longest fence in the world'. Dingos breed once a year and on average have 3-4 pups.
