Introduction to Dingo

Dingoes are Australian wild dogs that are known for their reddish-gold fur. They are the largest terrestrial predator in Australia and are classified as a vulnerable species. Dingoes are opportunistic hunters and scavengers and eat a variety of prey, including small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They also eat carrion and garbage. Dingoes live in packs and use vocalizations and scent marking to communicate. They are territorial and defend their territory from other packs. Dingoes have been known to kill livestock and pets.
