Dingos

Australia's only native dog, the dingo was probably brought into Australia a few thousand years ago by Polynesians.

Basic Facts:
Dingos are widespread around mainland Australia, often posing a threat to livestock. In desert regions, they feed mostly on rabbits mice and rats, and in southern regions wallabies and kangaroos. Both eat soft fruit and vegetables. The main difference between dingos and domestic dogs, is that female dingos only come into season once, instead of twice.
