	Dingo Information and Pictures, Australian Native Dogs
		The dingo has some unusual traits - a great tree climber and at times a bit aloof, but these are interesting traits and are in the same category as the dingoes nearest cousin the New Guinea Singing Dog and the Finnish Spitz, but displaying the same characteristics.
		With the European's introduction of domestic sheep and rabbit, the Dingo population flourished.
		The Federal Government classifies the Dingo as wildlife and it may not be exported except from and to registered and approved wildlife parks and zoos.

	Dingo - MSN Encarta
		The dingo probably competed with and took over the ecological niche of the smaller thylacine, a carnivorous marsupial, and may have contributed to its disappearance from Australia.
		Dingoes are carnivores, but they eat almost anything: insects, rodents, carrion, and vegetable matter.
		Dingoes are sometimes captured young by Aboriginal Australians and kept as hunting companions.

	Dingo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dingo (plural dingos or dingoes), Canis lupus dingo, is a type of wild dog, probably descended from the Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes).
		Dingo remains from 5,000 to 2,500 years old have been found in other parts of South-east Asia, and the earliest fossil record of dingos in Australia is 3,500 years old.
		Dingos have received bad publicity in recent years as a result of the highly publicised Azaria Chamberlain disappearance and also because of dingo attacks on Fraser Island in Queensland.

	Dingo Fence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dingo Fence or Dog Fence is a barrier that was built in Australia during the 1880s and finished in 1885, to keep dingos out of the relatively fertile south-east part of the continent (where they had largely been exterminated) and protect the sheep flocks of southern Queensland.
		It was only partly successful; Dingoes can still be found in parts of the southern states to this day, and although the fence helped reduce losses of sheep to predators, this was counterbalanced by increased pasture competition from rabbits and kangaroos.
		It seems that there are fewer kangaroos and emus on the north western side of the fence where the dingos are, suggesting that dingos impact the populations of those animals.

	Dingo
		To keep dingos out of Southeastern Australia, sheep industry territory, millions of dollars have been spent to build and maintain a 3,307-ft. fence, although sheep and cattle are estimated to compose only 4% of their diet.
		Dingos are protected by the Australian government in national parks and reserves.
		Dingos are considered pests and subject to control measures in several public places.

	Characteristics of the Australian Dingo - (ADCA) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mountain dingoes have a thick double coat in the winter, which is an adaptation to the cold winter environment of the alpine area.
		The dingo is predominantly ginger, or shades of ginger ranging from a sandy yellow to a red ginger.
		Dingoes have the ability to turn their wrists, an adaptation used in hunting, (which is also a beneficial trait for captive dingoes that use this trait to open unlocked gates!)

		Although the dingo is not considered threatened or endangered, pure populations in Australia and Asia are at risk of complete hybridization due to interbreeding with domestic dogs.
