Dingo

 

A dingo is a dog that roams wild across the whole continent of Australia, excluding Tasmania. Farmers kill them in case they attack sheep or other livestock, but they are still around. They are believed to have been brought to Australia by the Aborigines. Or they may have arrived with ships from East Asian countries. They sometimes hunt alone, or in packs. A pack can bring down a big animal like a kangaroo. If no game is to be found, the dogs have eaten reptiles.

A dingo is the same species as our household pets: canis familiaris. Order carnivora (meat eater), family canidae.

Size: medium

Color: red to yellow

How breeds developed

How much do dogs know? They know when the sun comes up, and when it goes down. What do they think about besides hunting? Are they aware of their Creator? Maybe they know more than us! Maybe God speaks to them. "I am the Lord and there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me: that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that I am the Lord. I form the light, and create darkness." Isaiah 45, 6
