The Dingo is a large Oceanian canid. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3.

Description

The dingo is the only wild canid found in Australia. It is not truly a native animal, but was introduced over 8000 years ago and is believed to be descended from basal dogs originating from South-East Asia that subsequently turned feral. Scientists are still unclear as to whether it is considered a subspecies of dog or wolf, or a true species in its own right. Adapted for speed, agility and stamina, the dingo is a lean-bodied animal with a proportionately large head. Males can weigh up to 15.8kg (35lbs) and reach a length of 125cm (49in), with females being smaller and captive individuals being slightly larger.

Common throughout most of Australia, dingoes typically live in small packs revolving around a mated pair and their offspring. They hunt a variety of prey, including kangaroos, which they will chase until the kangaroo is exhausted in a manner similar to the Wolf. Another common prey animal is the Rabbit, which is considered a pest in Australia. Dingoes have distinctly flexible wrists, which is an adaptation for navigating difficult terrain during hunts. The biggest threat to dingoes in the wild is hybridization with domestic dogs and there is some debate as to how many "pure" dingoes remain in the wild.
