NO MORE YELLOW DOG DINGO?
The dingo, Australia's only native dog, could be extinct within the next 50 to 100 years. But it is not poisoning, shooting or trapping which directly threatens the dingo, rather the dingo's ability to cross breed, or hybridise, with domestic dogs.
World dingo expert, Dr Laurie Corbett, from the CSIRO's Division of Wildlife and Ecology in Darwin, ...

Dingo
The dingo was probably introduced to Australia when the Aborigines arrived. Even though it is not a native animal, this member of the dog family has been a part of the Australian ecosystem for 3,000 to 4,000 years.
Dingos and sheep ranchers are in conflict as the dingos try to take sheep. To protect livestock, the Australian government built a 5,000 km (3000 mi) long dingo fence. The fence is nearly 2 meters (6 ft.) high and extends about 30 cm underground to keep the dingos from ...

I'm a Dingo and I'm a postcard too!
Unlike most Australian carnivores, dingoes are not marsupials. Probably introduced to Australia 3000-5000 years ago by the aborigines, pure-bred dingoes are becoming rarer as they interbreed with domestic dogs. Dingoes have never inhabited Tasmania. In the desert, dingoes eat rabbits, rodents, lizards and birds, while in south-eastern Australia, their main food sources are wallabies a ...

The Dingo!
The dingo is a wild dog that lives in the dry plains and forests of Australia. Scientists and dog breeders are not quite sure where this rare species of dog has come from, but they think that it might have been brought to Australia 3,500 years ago. Some of these dogs were trained by the Aborigines to be hunting dogs, and on cold nights they would be used as a "living blanket" on cold nights. Dingoes are medium in size and their fur is a yellowish-tan color but it ...

from most of the world's Dingoes. This site, which
belongs to David Steward is being redesigned as
an informational resource, which means it's a "place"

Dingoes, of course!
