Field Notes
Description:
The Dingo is Australia's wild dog. It is found in Australia, in all states but Tasmania. They are found throughout the mainland of Australia, close to a source of water.
The Dingo is a medium sized dog, with a bushy tail, and red to yellow coat. Dingos do not bark, but they do howl.
It is not a native animal to Australia, and it is unsure how it arrived on our land, but the current theories are:
* Dingos were brought to Australia 15,000 years ago by Koori people.
* Dingos may be related to wild dogs in South East Asia, and taken to Australia for trade by sea-farers.
Habitat:
When the puppies are two months old, the mother then regurgitates food for the pups for another two months.
After the pups are about four months old, they then begin hunting small game such as rabbits.
