All About Dingoes


Dingoes first arrived in northern Australia about 3,500 years ago. Dingoes are wild dogs that live in Australia and Asia. Dingoes descended from pet wolves. Dingoes are mammals and their scientific name is canis lupus dingo.

Dingoes are Australia’s top predator. Dingoes sometimes live in packs. Dingoes like to eat rabbits, lace monitors and sometimes sheep. Dingoes communicate by howling and barking.


Dingoes mostly live in packs. Only the lead male and female have pups but every member has a job. Dingoes are mixing with other dogs so scientists are encouraging people to keep dingoes as pets. They hope this helps dingoes not become extinct.
