• Dingo

  The dingo (Canis familiaris dingo) is a wild dog native to Australia, considered Australia's largest terrestrial predator. It is a medium-sized canine, typically weighing between 13-20 kg (29-44 lbs), with a lean, athletic build, short fur (often ginger or sandy yellow), erect ears, and a bushy tail. Dingos are adaptable and can be found in various habitats, from deserts to forests. They are opportunistic carnivores, preying on kangaroos, wallabies, rabbits, and other small to medium-sized animals. Dingos can live solitary lives or in small packs and are known for their unique howl rather than barking.
