Dingo

The dingo is a medium-sized canine that possesses a lean, hardy body adapted for speed, agility, and stamina. The skull is wedge-shaped and appears large in proportion to the body. The dingo is closely related to the New Guinea singing dog and the New Guinea Highland wild dog: their lineage split early from the lineage that led to today's domestic dogs, and can be traced back through the Malay Archipelago to Asia. .The dingo's three main coat colorations are light ginger or tan, black and tan, or creamy white.

Trivia

 * Dingos are the largest land predator in Australia and are considered apex predators ("top of the food chain").
 * For the most part, dingos are carnivores that eat meat, but they also eat fruit, grains and nuts at times. Small to medium game is usually what's on the menu.


 * A young male dingo can forage over as wide an area as 60km in a night and may join a local pack when food is abundant, but when it is scarce the pack drives any newcomer away.
