Vashal+-+Dingo

Vishal - Dingo The Awesome Dingo The Dingo is an awesome looking mammal. It has all kinds of cool looking colors like Reddish ginger, rust, yellow to brown and black with white points on the feet, snout, and the tip of the tail. Dingoes have very long tails and fairly bushy tails too. The Dingo also has very long claws and very sharp teeth. The Dingo can be found in almost any part of the Australian mainland which providers butt on to grassland but are forced inland to more semi-arid areas (mainly by man). The Dingo also lives in access to drinking water places. Their territory is important to them. They mark it with their wee and by scratching the ground with its claws. Dingoes also hunt their food in the night and they are nocturnal and sometimes don’t look for their food in packs and sometimes they hunt for their food in packs. The Dingo is a carnivore. They live in family groups but may gather into bigger packs to hunt large prey. Originally they fed on Kangaroos dingoes took to feeding on introduced sheep and rabbits. A litter of 4 to 5 young is born in a burrow or rock crevice after a gestation of about 9 weeks. The young are sucked for 2 months and stay with their parents for at least a year. These wild dogs hunt alone or in small packs. They are nocturnal (meat-eaters) eat rats, Kangaroos, birds, rabbits, lizards, and some farm animals. They swallow meat in large chunks. Scientists are not sure of their origins; they may be the descendants of domesticated dogs brought to Australia over 3,500 years ago. Some Dingo’s are trained by Aboriginal Australian people as hunting dogs. They also used to be used as living blankets; a cold night was called a “three-dog night.” Only the most important male and female are allowed to being parents but the whole pack will help to bring up pups in a den. The Dingo gives birth to their babies. Den could be a cave or a wombat burrow. Generally 4 or 5 pups are born. Pups learn by doing whatever the adults do. Dingoes are mammals, so the pups drink milk from their mother’s nipples. The Dingo protects itself by scratching and biting its enemies. The Dingo hides behind a bush too when it’s scared by it enemies!! Wild Dingoes are very bold animals. But they can be tamed and become very loving pets. In the Dingoes howl but when tamed they bark like a dog. As you can see the Dingo is an interesting animal.
