This medium sized Wild Dog of wild Australia is a Placental Animal in a land of Marsupials. According to various historical records, migrants and traders brought Dingo to Australia from South Asia about 4,000 years ago. Escaping into the wild, Dingo adapted to life in his new home.
Similar in appearance to Domestic Dog, Dingo has permanently pricked-up ears and a white tip at the end of his tail. Quite muscular, He also has a rich, reddish gold coat. Although Dingo can howl and yelp, He cannot bark. In many ways, He resembles the Dogs of Southeast Asia.
A tireless hunter, Dingo crosses large expanses of dessert and open bush pursuing his Prey. Relentlessly, Dingo wears the unfortunate Animal down. His persistence pays off with an easy kill.
Hunting with his Family, Dingo gives chase to Grey Kangaroo. Charging Her, Dingo first bites, and then backs off to avoid being kicked by Grey Kangaroo. (Her kicks can kill.) The “dance” continues until Grey Kangaroo tires. Then Dingo with His Family rush in to kill Her. Since Grey Kangaroo is more than They can eat, Dingo and His Family bury the remains for later meals.
Attuned to Dingo’s wild side, Aborigines raised Dingo Pups to help with hunting. The Australian expression, “three dog night” comes from the Aborigines’ use of their Dingoes as living blankets on cold nights. Very cold nights required three Dingoes. For extremely frigid nights, six Dingoes were needed.
Dingo teaches people how to accommodate to any situation. Wild, He is a relentless hunter who brings down Grey Kangaroo. Tame, He is a warm blanket for a cold night. Either way Dingo remains Himself. Learn how to accommodate to your situation from Dingo.
