This is a book that I wrote about the dingo. I wrote this for a special project that I making that has to do with the animals that live in Australia

1. Diet
The dingo is a carnivore and that means that they will only eat meat and the type
of animals that are prey for a dingo is Kangaroos. Rabbits, livestock like cattle and
they will also eat very small reptiles and they will also eat insects, birds and they
will eat so many different types of rodents to. These dogs will mostly hunt at night
and they will like to eat different types of mammals but their diet can also go for
reptiles, insects and other different types of animals to. The size of the prey that
these dogs hunt is really small animals like rodents, rabbits, lizards they will also
eat sheep and kangaroos. Sometimes the dingo will normally hunt alone or in a
pack but if there is not enough small animals that they can hunt and then they will
have to go after animals that are much bigger and this can be much harder for
them to hunt but it really depends on the type of place where they are. The dingo
will eat so many different types of prey items and those animals are different
types of insects, rabbits, rodents, lizards and they will also go after red kangaroos
to. The type of animals that they will eat is very small mammals but the other
animals that they eat the most is rabbits, kangaroos, wallabies, birds, rodents,
lizards, carrion (in other words a dead animal) and there are sometimes if there is
not enough prey In the area then they will eat fruit than. There are some parts of
their range where they will eat on very small animals like they will eat rabbits,
birds and they will also eat lizards and the other food that they will eat is
kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos. These dogs will also eat plants to if there is
no prey in the area. These dogs will also scavenge from people that live in Asia.
The dingo will mostly hunt by themselves but there are sometimes that they will
hunt in a pack so that they can hunt because is so much easier than it is to hunt
all by themselves but they will normally hunt together if they have to take down a
much bigger animal like an kangaroo or something like that. They will also eat so
many small rodents and they will also eat birds and dead animals. When they are
living at a zoo than they will mostly eat normal dog food and they will eat it twice
daily. Dingoes are predators and that means that they will have to kill other
animals so that they can live and it also means that they will kill other animals for

2. food. The dingo will normally eat but it really depends on what type of location
that the prey is at. There are sometimes that the dingo can work as a team the
only time that they do work together is when they have to take on a very large
animal like kangaroo. The Kangaroo is known to be the most largest animal that
lives in Australia. There is so much meat in a Kangaroo that it will easier full up a
dingo very fast. This is known to be the most biggest meal for the dingo. But there
are some dingoes that do not hunt in a group when they do not need to hunt in
group than they will go for the normal food that the dingo will eat will normally
eat different types of foods and animals that they do see as food is wallabies,
small mammals, lizards and they will also eat birds to. The dingo mostly hunts
every single day and there will be sometimes when they do not catch anything at
all. There are some prey that they catch are a lot faster than they are so that
means that the dingo will have to go hungry for that day.
Habitat/Range
These dogs can be found on a edge of a forest and they will also be seen on
grasslands, semi-arid land. These dogs can live all over the continent of Australia
but they do not live on the island of Tasmania. That means they live on the main
land of Australia. The other places where these dogs can be found is in Guinea
highland mountains. They can also be found ontall mountains and on thick
forests. The dingo lives on so many different types of habitats and the places
where these dogs can be found in is places that are alpine, woodland, grasslands;
desert and they can also be found on tropical places to. The dingo can also be
found on almost every part of Australia but they will mostly live close to places
that have water that is because they need to drink water once a day. This is the
reason why they need to live near a forest edge so that they can drink lots of
water But they do not just live in forests edges they can also be found in
grasslands but these dogs have been forced to live in the semi-arid areas that is

3. because people have pushed them into these types of areas. The dingo has grown
to live in so many different habitats that is all over the continent of Australia. But
it really depends on the dingoes coat like if they were living in a hot place that has
a tropical area than they will have a really short single coat so that they can stay
cool. The dingoes that live high up in the mountains which are known to have a
cold temperature than they will have a coat that is much longer and thicker to
and these coats have a lot of double layer of fur on them. The most common
place for a dingo to live in is on Australia but there are some dingoes that can be
found is some other parts of the world to like they can also live in Thailand, South
East China, Myanmar, Laos, New Guinea, Philippines, Malaysia, Borneo and they
can also live on Indonesia. These dingoes can also be found on so many different
types of habitats like they can be found on the plains, high up in the mountains,
deserts and in forests but the dingoes that live in South East Asia than they will be
found near a very small village. These dingoes are native to Australia and they can
also live in South Asia. They can also live on the mountain that is on New Guinea.
The dingo can be found on so many different types of habitats and those places
are alpine forests, deserts, coastal scrub and they can also be found on tropical
rainforests to. The parts of Australia where these dogs live in placesis in Northern,
southern Australiaand they can also be found on the south-western part of
Australia to. These dogs do not live on the island of Tasmania. These dogs can be
found on the dry plains and on the forests that is in Australia. The other type of
habitats where these dogs can call their home is Forest edges, grasslands and
they can also live on the plain that is on the outback. These dogs do not just live
in Australia but that is where their native home is but there other places where
these dogs live is in and those other places that they also live in is Thailand and in
other parts that is in Southeast Asia. These dogs can be found on so many
different types of places like they can also live on desert woodlands, desert rivers,
and they can also be found on country that can be filled with sand which is called
a sand country and they will normally rest in a rocky gorges . The dingo dog can
be found on so many different types of habitats that are from all over the
mainland of Australia. The habitats where these dogs live on is in woodlands and
they can also be found in rainforests, scrublands and they can also live on
outskirts that are on the arid of deserts that is in Australia.

4. Size/Weight
The dingoes have a much thinner size than the Labrador retriever dog doesand
they can grow about 20 to 24 inches (51 to 61 cm) that is how tall they are that is
up to their shoulders. The females are a lot smaller that the males are. The weight
of the females is 26 to 40 pounds (12 to 18 kg). The weight of the males is about
35 to 48 pounds (16 to 22 kg). The dingo can grow about 60 cm high and they can
weight about 15 kilograms. They can also grow about 44 to 63 pounds that is way
up high to the shoulder. The size of their head and body is about 4 feet long and
about 35 pounds. The body length of a dingo is about 72 and 110 cms (28 to 43
inches). The length of an dingo’s tail is about 21 to 36 cms (8.5-14 inches and they
can weigh about 9 to 21.5 kgs (20-47 lbs).The dingo can grow about 4 feet that is
the total length of these dogs that can go up to the top of their nose all the way
down to their tail and they can grow about 2 feet that is the height of their
shoulder and they can weight about 35 pounds. The males are a lot bigger than
the females are. The weight of the males is 26 to 43 pounds (12 to 20 kg) and the
females can weight about 21 to 35 pounds. The size of their head and their body
can grow at least about 3.5 to 4ft (1.1 to 1.2 m). The size of their tail can be bigger
than 12 to 13 in (30 to 33 cm). These dogs can weight about 22 to 33 Ibs (10 to 15
kg). The dingo can be taller than 50 centimeters tall and that can be about 120
centimeters long. These dogs can also weight about 22 to 33 lbs.
Life span
The Dingo can live about 8 to 10 years When these dogs are living in their natural
habitat than they can live for 10 years and when they are living in a zoo than they
can live for 13 years. They can also live about 15 years as well. There are some
dingoes that can live for 24 years when they are living in captivity. They can also
live about 14 years when they are living in captivity like when they are living in a
zoo. When they are also living in the captivity than they will live about 13 to 18
years.

5. 1 interesting fact
On where a dingo lives it really depends on how many prey is in the area. In
places where there are very large animals than the dingoes will normally hunt in a
group that is called a pack. When a dingo is in a very small place than there will be
very small animals and when that happens then they will normally hunt in a pair
and the pairs are usually one male and one female, But there are so many people
that will normally see only just one dingo or they see just twodingoes that can be
found in just one place. But there are other dingoes that hiding in an area that can
be found really close by. There are so many different types of dingo packs that
can be found in desert habitats and when they have to use a watering hole than
they will have to share it with each other. When there is two packs in the area
than they will usually try to stay away from each other and then they will take
turns on getting a drink of water. When night comes than that will be the time
when the dingo howls into the sky so that they can communicate with other
dingoes that can be somewhere in the area and so that the pack members are
somewhere far away and will know where they are. They will also use their calls
to tell other dingo groups in the area to stay away from their pack. Way often the
dingo is used to living on their own but there are some dogs that are often seen in
packs that can have the total of 12 members in the pack. The dingoes come from
an very extended Family and that also means the mating pair as well. When the
pup is born in a year or in a previous year and then that will be the time when the
dingoes will start to display the dominance hierarchy that will go to between the
male and the female. The only successful breeders are activity the dominant pairs
but the other pack members will normally help take care of the little ones. There
are sometimes when there are some dingoes that do travel by themselves there
are others that live together in a group that is called a pack . There are like a
dozen dogs that are in this dog pack.Dingos can also live in a pack that is filled
with 10 different dogs that are in this animal group

6. 2 interesting fact
If you ever see a dingo dog the first thing that you should never do is to never
feed . If these dogs are being hand fed then they will be attached to people. By
the way these dogs are wild animals and they should stay on eating wild food and
they can also be very dangerous as well when they are being provoked so you
have to watch out if you see one. Even dingoes can bite you if they see you. So
keep your distance when you see one. Usually dingoes will normally just mine
their own business and hey will usually stay away from people if they see one. But
dingoes do have a fear of humans and they are known to be very shy creatures.
There are sometimes that a dingo will come face to face with people and it will
get a little bit ugly but the most important thing to remember to always stay alert
and to stay calm at all times. Here are the skills that you will need to stay safe
from getting yourself attacked by these dogs. The first thing that you should do is
to stand still and than you have to full height and than fold your arms over your
chest. The other thing that you have to do is face the dingo than calmly walk back
far away from the dingo. If you are walking with another person that you should
really stand back to back with that person. Call for help as soon as possible and so
that you can call someone that can help you. just wait for the dingo or a pack to
goes away and then you can continue your way. The most important thing that
you should never ever do is to run or to wave your arms because if you run the
dingo is going to think that you are prey to it and then it will start to kill you or
bite you. Dingoes are known to be very fast at running that is because they want
to protect their territory or so that they can keep a eye out for wild prey. A
person nay never know there might a dingo right near you and you do not even
see it that it is even coming or even watching you and they can move very fast.
When dingoes get their food from people than they will start to become very
aggressive. So the best thing to do is. Is to not have any food or any food scraps
just lying around in the area that you are in. When a food is not attended than it
will start to become a very easy meal for a dingo and that will also lead the dingo

7. to harass at people for giving them food for them to eat and that is how these
dogs can become very aggressive. When you are going to a lake than you better
not being food with you that is because if you have a picnic near a lake and then
the dingo will not resist the food that is being lead out on the table remember
these dogs are a lot different than a house dog these dogs are wild animals and
they will do anything to get an easy meal. Very young children and very small
babies that are sitting on a picnic rug or they are being placed near a lake or a
beach than they get caught up and than the dingo will start show up so that it can
steal the people’s food and they can also nip and they can also bite as well.
Dingo attacks usually happen to those that are traveling by themselves it does not
matter if they are walking aneara beach or near a lake or any other place that
has walking tracks that can be seen on Fraser Island so the best way to stay safe
from a dingo is to stay alert or is to stay in a group of people so that person that
you are with can call for help if you get attacked or got hunted in any way . If you
are walking on the tracks or in a remote area there are going to be times when
you come face to face with a dingo so be aware . The reason why is because they
can smell the food and the smell of food will always get attraction from a dingo. If
they see a backpack than they will start to tear up the backpack so that they can
get to the food.
3 interesting fact
Dingoes are different than all the other dogs in the world that is because they do
not bark to talk to each other. Instead on barking like all other dogs they will use
other different types of sounds like they will howl, snort and they can also purr as
well. The best time of the day that they do use their howling sounds is at night.
There are some species that are more active during the day and there are others
that are nocturnal and that means that they are most active at night and they will
sleep during the day but it really depends on what type of climate that the dingo
lives in. In 200 years ago there was these settlers that came for Europe that came
to Australia and that had an domestic dogs that came with them. Right before
that time came these type of people that was called the Aboriginal people they

8. will sometimes take wild dingo puppies and they will take care of them at their
camps and they will also raise them as well. But the real reason why the
Aboriginal people will keep them as pets is because they enjoy their company but
these dogs are very hard to train. The dingoes that are usually tamed than they
will only be used for helping human hunters to catch very small animals but the
dingoes will normally go after very big animals like the kangaroo and they will also
go after the animals that are very fast to. But there are times that the dingo will
be very helpful that is because they can keep camps very clean from any garbage.
This can really come in handy that is because in Australia did not have people to
clean up their garbage that is nearby. There were a lot of dingoes that were raised
by people and then after that then they will sent them back into the wild. The
time that they do go back to the wild is when they get older and when they start
to grow up and then after the people are down with that dingo. Then they will
look for more dingoes so that they can raise them and do the same thing to. The
dingo can communicate in lots of different ways. They can talk to each other by
howling;snuffling and they can also talk to each other by groaning as will. They
will normally use these calls when they need to locate a pack member and they
also use these calls to tell intruders to stay away from their territory. The dingo
dog may use these sounds to talk to each other but they do not bark like the
house dog does. These dogs can mark their territory by leaving scent marks by
using urine, fecal matter and they will also use scent glands these are all the
things that the dingo will do to mark their territory. Their homes are usually
places that are near any areas that have water in it and they will also need a very
good place so that it will be a good place for them to hunt and to attract a mate
and they will also use this so that they can get a hold of their pack members to
announce that this is their territory. The sound that they will use the most is
growling. These dingoes do not bark like other dogs do but they do howl and they
will normally use these sounds have ten different variations. They share their
home with other different animals to and the types of animals that will share the
same environmentwith themisthe Cape barren geese, kangaroos and they will
share their environment with the emu to. Dingoes are just like the wolf that is
because they can make so many different types of sounds to talk to their group,
and so that they can tell other enemies to stay away from their territory and they

9. will also use their commutation skills so that they can call their pups that are stay.
The sound that they will normally will be use a lot is a very loud cry or a howl that
can travel for many miles all over their region.
Responding
Both the male and the female will start to compete through every single member
that is in the familyso that they can be the top dog of the pack and whoever
becomes the families top dog then that dingo will be leader of the pack so that
male can mate with the alpha female of the pack. The other packs members will
normally help take care of the puppies and they will normally be born in every
once a year. A female dingo can have the total of four to six puppies. The puppies
will start to have a life of their own once they are done weaning or they will have
to stay in the pack in about a year. The account of puppies that the mother will
give birth to are five puppies and that makes a full litter of dingo puppies. When
the puppies are born then they will start to be all black and when they get older
than their color will start to change in seven weeks. The mother dingo will
normally take care of their babies in a special place that is called a den. A den for
a dingo may be in some place that is in a hole that is on the ground. These dogs
willsometimes make their dens in a hollow log and they can also have their dens
under a bush as well. The first food that the puppies will eat is their mother’s
milk. The puppies are ready to eat meat when they four weeks old.This is how the
parents being the food to their babies. The parents will normally push the food
that they found and they will put it in their stomachs and then the puppies will
eat their food that their parents will give them is that the puppies will lick their
parents mouth and the parents will start to push the food out of their mouth and
the parents and then they will start to push the food out of their stomachs and
into the puppies mouths. The dingoes that live in the desert they will do the
something to and they will also do this with water to so that the puppies can drink
it. The parents will start to teach the puppies how to hunt when the puppies are
12 weeks old. The puppies will remain with their mother for seven months. The
mating season for a dingo can only happen in only in once ayear and it will

10. normally go for March through the month of June. The gestation period for these
dogs is 63 days and the account of puppies that is a litter for a dingo is six
puppies that is a full litter of puppies for a dingo is really six puppies. The puppies
will short leave rightafter they are done weaning or they will stay in a family
group in about a year.Dingoes will only breed in just once a year. The females are
really to go into season in only for a few days like about right in the middle of the
year and then she will give birth to her puppies in nine weeks later. Right after
that then the younger puppies will stay with their mother in only for the end of
the first summer that is because their mother has to teach them how to hunt first
and then they can go out on their own. The dingoes will start to mate in only in
once a year right after their gestation period which is about 63 days a female will
give birth to 4 or 5 puppies that are usually born right inside of the den. The
puppies will be ready to come out of their den when they are about 3 weeks old
and they will be ready to have their first taste of milk when they are about 3 years
old. This will also will be the time when they start to become members of the
pack. The adults will teach the puppies how to hunt when they are 3 or 4 months
old. The males and the females will start to pair off but they will always continue
to be each other’s mates throughout their whole lifetime but only if they are 3
years old. The dingo will only mate in just a year they will start to mate right
before August that is for the dingoes that live in the south and the ones that live
on the north than they will start to mate right after August is over. The gestation
period for these dogs is 2 months. The account of puppies that the dingo will give
birth to is 1 through 10 puppies this is how many puppies that an mother dingo
can have the moment that the puppies are born they will be completely be born
right after they come out of their mother’s stomach but these puppies will grow
very fast and they will be ready to leave the den when they are 8 weeks old. The
dingoes will reach maturity in only in one year of age and it will take a very long
time for them to mate. The mating process for a dingo will only take just once a
year. The female will only give birth to only one pup or they can also have eight
puppies but the most common litter that the dingo will have is they will have the
total of 3 to 4 puppies that is a full litter of dingo puppies that the female will
have. They will normally mate during the spring season. Both the male and the
female will both take care of the puppies together. The puppies will stay with

11. their parents for 12 months that can go up to 3 years. When the puppies are in
the den than they will be filled with fur. After they are done drinking their
mother’s milk which will be 2 months. The mother will normally regurgitate for
the pups and they will continue to do this until they are about 4 months old.
When these puppies learn how to hunt for themselves than they will normally
hunt and eat very small animals like rodents and rabbits.
Survival Status
The most dangerous threat that the dingo dog is facingtoday is that their contact
with the domestic dog that is because the dingo is mating with the domestic dog.
That is a problem because the dingo is mating with the domestic dog. The reason
why the domestic dog is mating with a wild dog like the dingo is because there are
so many people that live in Australia that are always letting their dogs run free
into the areas where the dingoes can be found in. The dingoes that live in the
southern and in the eastern part of Australia today there are only a few of these
wild dogs in these types of areas and there is a mix between the domestic dog
and the dingo and that is a problem because the dingo is supposed to mate with
another dingo not with another species of dog that is because that is how the
population of animals grows and that is how they save the species from
disappearing forever. The dingo is starting to become very rare and that is
because of this threat that is going on with them today. These dogs are going to
become extinct if people don’t do something to help them but there are a lot of
people that live in Australia that are starting to help these dogs and with their
survival in the wild and that is there are some people that are starting to breed
the dingo to be a pet. But there are some of these dogs that are too wild to
handle to be pets but the best way to help them are by protecting these dogs in
their natural habitat. There are so many people that have dogs and sheep and
they are starting to move away from the dingo’s habitat so that the dingo can
have a happy live and so that they can be free. The dingo is one of the most oldest
species of dog that live on this planet but it really depends on how people take
care of these dogs. Breeding with the domestic dog is not the only threat that the

12. dingo is having trouble with. The other threats that they dingo is going through is
that the dingoes habitat is getting destroyed. The dingo is an animal that is very
vulnerable to extinction. But the dingo is being protected in Australia and there
are so many conservation work that is being done so that they can stop the
interbreeding that is going on between the domestic dog and the dingo and they
are also keeping the dingo species in pure. The dingoes are completely vulnerable
and their population is not looking so good either because it is starting to stink
very fast. The most common places on where the dingo still roams are these
types of areas that are in the regions that are on the North and on Central parts of
Australia and they can also still be found in Thailand as well but they are not
found anywhere else on the planet as they were in the past. The other problems
that these dogs are dealing with is that they are facing farmers because they are
cross breeding with the domestic dog which will do some a lot of changes to the
dingo’s wild genes, and it may also cause an represent major threats to the wild
dogs.

We must do something to help and to save these amazing animals. These dogs
need all the help that they can get. The dingo has the right to continue living on
this planet. They are doing their part in nature and we should find a place in
nature to. This is a really big planet that is filled with wonders and discoveries that
is just waiting to be found. We have to make this planet a safe place for us and for
other living creatures that we share it with. This is our beautiful home it deserves
to have a second change to live on for the next generation to come on this
planet. There is a really big, bright and beautiful future if we find a way to protect
our planet then our world and our home will be a much happier and a much
cleaner place to live in. We have to make room for other living creatures to. God
made animals for a reason just like he made us. That is what I know about the
dingo. If we all work together we can save the dingo and other animals that lives
on this planet to. Together we can make a difference in our beautiful planet that
we all share. Thank you so much for doing your part. With you reading and

13. enjoying this book. You are helping your favorite animal and its survival in the
wild. Without your support and love and respect. your favorite animal will have a
chance to make a comeback. This is a huge thank you for helping these animals
and everything else that has to do with nature. Nature it is very important
because without nature our planet will not be so beautiful and full of wonder that
can open a person’s eyes to a world that they never had imagined. Nature thanks
you for your support.
