Paw-some Dingo facts:

  • Dingoes are the largest land predator in Australia and are considered an apex predator
  • Dingoes are not a dog-breed, they are just as much as a wolf than they are dog. Evidence suggests that Dingoes arrived as domesticated pets more roughly 4000 years ago from travellers from Southeast Asia that reverted back to their wild state
  • There are three types of Dingoes that have adapted to Australia’s vast climate: the desert, alpine and northern 
  • Dingoes has an impressive sense of vision and can swivel their heads about 180 degrees
