Дикая собака динго впервые появиласт в Австралии и Новой Гвинее.

 На эти земли она попала вместе с переселенцами из Юго-Восточной Азии. Динго собака домашняя, но одичавшая.

 Зоологи считают эту особь особым подвидом. Она быстро освоились в новой среде обитания, и составила конкуренцию местным сумчатым, быстро распространяясь по всему континенту.

 Австралийские и Новогвинейские собаки динго отличаются друг от друга. Первая намного крупнее, более длинноногая. Новогвинейский динго не умеет лаять.

Длина тела 87-120см, высота в холке 65см, вес 10-20кг. Самцы крупнее самок. Короткая шерсть рыжего цвета. Иногда встречаются особи черного или белого цвета.

 Опушки и равнины, негустые леса — место обитание животного. Активен ночью в теплых районах, а в более прохладных местах обитания охотится днем.

Большинство собак держится группами, но встречаются и одиночки. У каждой стаи своя территория. Питаются они в основном кроликами, но могут напасть на кенгуру. Закусывают рептилиями, не брезгуют падалью. 

 С марта по май длится брачный период. Беременность самки 60 — 70 дней. В логове у неё рождается 4 — 6 щенков. Мать их кормит молоком. В возрасте 3 недель детёныши выходят первый раз из укрытия. Потомство могут приносить два раза в год.

Сегодня эти животные могут жить как отдельно от человека, так и вместе с ним. Австралийцы разводят, и используют их как домашних собак. Динго независимые, и зачастую убегают из дома, возвращаются к дикому образу своей жизни. Бежавшие собаки начинают нападать на домашний скот, и из-за этого начинают подвергаться жестокому истреблению.

 В дикой природе собака динго живет 5 — 10 лет. Данный вид занесён в Международную Красную книгу, как уязвимый таксон. Чрезмерный отстрел привел к резкому сокращению особи.

The dingo dog first appeared in Australia and New Guinea.

On these lands she came with settlers from Southeast Asia. Dingo is a domestic dog, but it’s wild.

Zoologists consider this individual a special subspecies. She quickly settled in the new habitat, and competed with local marsupials, spreading rapidly across the continent.

Australian and New Guinea Dingo dogs differ from each other. The first is much larger, more leggy. The New Guinea dingo can not bark.

Body length 87-120 cm, height at withers 65cm, weight 10-20kg. Males are larger than females. Short wool of red color. Sometimes there are individuals of black or white color.

Opuski and plains, sparse forests — the habitat of the animal. Active at night in warm areas, and in cooler habitats hunts during the day.

Most dogs are kept in groups, but there are also singles. Each pack has its own territory. They feed mainly on rabbits, but they can attack kangaroos. They bite with reptiles, do not disdain carrion.

From March to May, the marriage period lasts. Pregnancy of the female is 60 — 70 days. In the den she is born 4 — 6 puppies. Their mother feeds milk. At the age of 3 weeks, the cubs leave the shelter for the first time. Offspring can be brought twice a year.

Today, these animals can live both separately from a person, and with him. Australians are bred, and use them as domestic dogs. Dingo independent, and often run away from home, return to the wild image of their lives. Running dogs begin to attack livestock, and because of this they begin to be subjected to brutal extermination.

In the wild, a dingo dog lives 5 to 10 years. This species is listed in the International Red Book as a vulnerable taxon. Excessive shooting led to a sharp reduction in the individual.

Динго- вторично одичавшая домашняя собака, единственный плацентарный хищник в фауне Австралии до прихода европейцев.Динго выглядит как хорошо сложенная собака средней величины: высота в холке 47—67 см, длина тела с головой 86—122 см, длина хвоста 26—38 см. Вес 9,60—19 кг, редко — до 24 кг и выше. Самцы значительно крупнее самок, а азиатские динго мельче австралийских сородичей, видимо, из-за рациона, бедного белками. Телосложением динго напоминает гончую. Морда квадратная; уши небольшие, стоячие. Хвост пушистый, саблевидный.Динго — преимущественно ночные животные. Основные места их обитания в Австралии — опушки влажных лесовПримерно 60 % рациона австралийских динго составляют некрупные млекопитающие, в частности, кролики. Они также охотятся на кенгуру и валлаби; в меньшей степени питаются птицами, рептилиями, насекомыми и падальюС началом массового разведения скота динго стал нападать и на него, что повлекло за собой уничтожение диких собак фермерами

Dingo is a second-time feral domestic dog, the only placental predator in the fauna of Australia before the arrival of Europeans.Dingo looks like a well-built dog of medium size: height at the withers 47-67 cm, body length 86-122 cm, tail length 26-38 cm. Weight 9,60-19 kg, rarely — up to 24 kg and above. Males are much larger than females, and Asian dingoes are smaller than Australian cousins, apparently due to a diet poor in proteins. Dingo’s body looks like a hound. Muzzle square; the ears are small, erect. The tail is fluffy, saber-like.Dingos are mostly nocturnal animals. Their main habitats in Australia are the outskirts of moist forestsApproximately 60% of the diet of Australian dingoes are small mammals, in particular, rabbits (Oryctolagus). They also hunt kangaroos and wallabies; to a lesser degree, they feed on birds, reptiles, insects and carrion.

The dingo is a dog found in Australia and South-East Asia. They are not found in Tasmania, where the sea levels cut the island off from mainland Australia about 10,000 years ago.^[1]

The earliest known dingo fossil was found in Western Australia. It dates to 3,450 years ago. However, the genes show that the dingo reached Australia 8,300 years ago. The humans which brought them are unknown. Dingo morphology has not changed over the past 3,500 years: this suggests that artificial selection has not been done over this period.^[2]

Their scientific name, Canis lupus (wolf) dingo, changed recently from Canis familiaris (dog) dingo.^[3] This was to show it is related to the white footed wolf which lives in Asia.

Description[change | change source]

Dingos (or Dingoes) are usually between 117 cm to 124 cm in length. Their tail is about 30 cm in length. They usually weigh between 10 kg and 20 kg. The colour of their fur is usually yellow-ginger, but can sometimes include tan, black, white or sandy colours. They live for about 14 years.

Dingos live in packs of between 3 and 12, but they can be seen alone as well. The leaders are the alpha male and the alpha female and are usually the only pair to breed. Young dingos are called «cubs». The breeding season is in March and April. After a gestation of 63 days, the adult females usually give birth to 4-5 cubs in a litter.^[4] Mothers will regurgitate food for the cubs to eat.^[5] They become independent of their mother after four to eight months of age.

Dingos do not bark like other dogs, but they do howl.^[5]

Diet[change | change source]

Dingos are carnivores and eat other animals such as kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, rabbits, rodents, lizards, sheep, calves, poultry and carrion. It believed to have hunted several animal species to extinction including some species of bandicoots and rat kangaroos. They often hunt in packs.

Managing dingos[change | change source]

While some people keep dingos as pets, they are regarded as a pest by farmers. They are controlled by trapping, shooting, poisoning (with Sodium monofluoroacetate), and fences.^[3] The dingo fence which runs through South Australia, and then along the New South Wales border through to central Queensland is the world’s longest fence.^[3] Dingos are protected in national parks and reserves.

It is illegal to have a dingo as a pet in South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania. In Victoria and the Northern Territory you have to have a special permit to keep a dingo.^[6] The dingo can be a dangerous animal and have attacked people at times. On April 30, 2001, a nine-year-old boy was attacked and killed on Fraser Island by a dingo.^[7] A dingo is believed to have killed a baby, Azaria Chamberlain, at Uluru in August, 1980.^[8] This became a world famous case when her mother was sent to jail for murdering the baby. She was later found innocent and released. Evil Angels, a book about Azaria by John Bryson, was made into a movie starring Meryl Streep.
