Dingo Fun Facts:

• Dingoes are descendants of the Asian dingo. They are thought to have been introduced to Australia 3,000-4,000 years ago.
• They can be solitary or found in packs.
• Dingoes are the largest predator in Australia.
• Dingoes in the desert are reddish-brown in color and are smaller than their cousin.

• Dingoes have excellent vision and can turn their heads about 180 degrees.
• They have flexible wrist that gives them the ability to climb.
• Dingoes do not bark, but they yodel/howl.

Dingoes are quiet intelligent and often they are not loved by livestock farmers. They are predators you know! We think they are just the coolest!
