two adorable dingoes.

No, these aren't pet dogs.

They're actually wild animals.

Dingoes are Australia's wild dog,

considered a cultural icon

but due to interbreeding,

pure dingoes have become harder to spot.

Hence both Morrison and Tingora's similar appearance

to domestic dogs.

Dingoes are thought to have been introduced to Australia

three to four thousand years ago.

They are Australia's largest terrestrial predator.

Dingoes hunt everything.

From rodents and birds to larger prey, like kangaroos.

They are a big part of aboriginal Australian culture

yet are seen as pests by livestock farmers

due to perceived attacks on animals.

Hunting for their skin and interbreeding

has left their population vulnerable.

This is the dingo.
