The Dingo Dog Is Indigenous To Australia

I didn't know that

by Anonymousreply 23July 4, 2018 11:49 PM

No way. How do they interbreed with dogs?

Do they native people there eat them?

Yes R2 when Australian-born people turn 18 they are all forced to eat a dingo pizza and get circumcised (males and females) with the jawbone of an Eastern Spotted Quoll that died of Ross River Virus.

OP, dingoes are not indigenous because they were brought to Australia by human beings, rather than arriving without human intervention.

In 'Strine, they're called "dangoes."

[bold]No.[/bold] They aren't R5.

Wow, lots of serious intellectuals have found this thread. “Indigenous” does not mean “eaten by the local population.”

Dingos have been in Australia for 4000 years r5, and far predate modern colonization. They are generally regarded as an Australian native animal and specifically not as an invasive species.

Dingoes are virtually the same as the New Guinea singing dog, indicating Dingos came to Australia via a land bridge.

Dingos, Dogs and Wolves are basically "brothers" to each other, while a coyote, is like a first cousin to a Dingo, Wolf or Dog. In all cases, Dingos, Dogs, Wolves and Coyotes can interbreed and produce offspring which can also breed.

I call the local coyotes "dingoes" to feel antipodean. It's also fun to pretend the raccoons are koalas and the crows are kookaburras.

Running from reality is my favorite aerobic exercise.

According to a reliable source, dingoes eat babies.

Sorry, R14 . I take it antipodean was a bit too sesquipedalian?

Dingoes are descendents of dogs. They've lived in Australia for several thousand year, but they are late additions to the Australian fauna. They apparently out-competed with thylacines, but since Tasmania doesn't have dingoes, thylacines were able to hold on longer there than on the Australian mainland.

Dingoes actually are dogs.
