Mammal C. l. dingo (Dingo)

[Hairyman]

The dingo has been given its own species status, recognising that it is not descended from dogs or wolves.

This is a dingo I photographed in the Toolara state forest near Rainbow Beach.


...and this is a Carolina dog from North America that has at least some Pre Columbian East Asian dog ancestry.

My daughter spotted this fine specimen trotting along beside the highway in Toolara State forest yesterday and we were able to ambush him on a side road for this pic

Dingoes look very similar to dogs in Thailand. Picture is of my Thai Ridgeback ...Bodhi
