Dingo. Australian dingo. Conservation status. Scientific classification. Kingdom: Animalia.
Phylum: Chordata. Class: Mammalia. Order: Carnivora. Family: Canidae. Genus: Canis. Species: C. Also, there are dog- populations (e.
As such they are considered to play an important role in the various ecosystems of the continent. Due to its habit of attacking livestock and the vulnerability of sheep, dingoes and other wild dogs are seen as a pest by the sheep industry and the resulting control methods normally run counter with efforts of conserving the dingo. It was estimated that the majority of the modern dingoes are also descended from other domestic dogs.
The number of these so- called dingo- hybrids had increased significantly over the last decades and the dingo was therefore classified as vulnerable. Nomenclature. Canis lupus dingo has several names in both scientific and non- scientific literature, of which the word dingo is the most common term. Furthermore, on the Australian continent, the term wild dog is now used very often in both areas. This term includes dingoes, dingo- hybrids, and mostly all other feral dogs. In taxonomy the most accepted name today is the term Canis lupus dingo, however this name is not very common in literature. This term originated in the early times of European colonization in New South Wales and most likely derived from the word . Those names include the terms Joogong, Mirigung, Noggum, Boolomo, Papa- Inura, Wantibirri, Maliki, Kal, Dwer- da, Kurpany, Aringka, Palangamwari, and Warrigal.
The Yarralin for instance call the dogs who live with them Walaku and the ones living in the wilderness Ngurakin. In recent times people have begun to call them . As is typical in domestic dogs, the dingo's relative brain size is smaller than that of all non- domesticated subspecies of wolves, being almost identical in size to that of European dog breeds. Eye colour varies from yellow over orange to brown. Compared to other similarly sized domestic dogs, dingoes have longer muzzles, larger carnassials, longer canine teeth, and a flatter skull with larger nuchal lines.
The average weight is 1. Dingoes from the North and the North- West of Australia are larger than Central and South- Australian populations. Australian dingoes are invariably heavier than Asian ones. The hind feet make up a third of the hind legs and have no dewclaws. The fur color is mostly sandy to reddish brown, but can include tan patterns and be occasionally black, light brown, or white. Completely black dingoes probably were prevalent in Australia in the past, but have been sighted only rarely in recent times and are now more common in Asia than in Australia. In the case of reddish individuals, there can be small, distinctive, and dark stripes on the shoulders.
All other color and color- patterns on adult dingoes are regarded as evidence for interbreeding with other domestic dogs. During research, eight sound classes with 1. Compared to most other domestic dogs, the bark of a dingo is short and monosyllabic. During observations, the barking of Australian dingoes revealed itself to have a relatively small variability and sub- groups of barking, like among other domestic dogs, could not be found. Furthermore, only 5% of the observed vocalisations were made up of barking. Australian dingoes bark only in swooshing noises or in a mixture atonal/tonal. Also, barking is almost exclusively used for giving warnings.
Warn- barking in a homotypical sequence and a kind of . The bark- howling starts with several barks and then fades into a rising and ebbing howl and is probably, similarly to coughing, used to warn the puppies and members of the pack. Additionally, dingoes emit a sort of .
However Alfred Brehm reported a dingo that completely learned the more . Usually there are three kinds of howls distinguished: long and persistent, rising and ebbing, and short and abrupt.
Observations have shown that every kind of howling has several variations, though their meanings are unknown. The frequency of howling varies depending on season and time of day, and is also influenced by breeding, migration, lactation, social stability, and dispersal behaviour. Also, howling can be more frequent in times of food shortage, because the dogs become more widely distributed within their home range. Overall howling was observed less frequently than among grey wolves. It can happen, that one dog starts to howl and several or all other dogs howl back and bark from time to time.
In the wilderness, dingoes howl over long distances to attract other members of the pack, to find other dogs, and to keep intruders at bay. Dingoes howl in chorus with significant pitches and with increasing number of pack- members the variability of pitches also increases. Therefore it is suspected that dingoes can measure the size of a pack without visual contact. It was always used in an agonistic context, as well as for dominance and reactively as a defence sound. Similar to many other domestic dogs, a reactive usage of defensive growling could only be observed rarely or not at all. Growling very often occurs in combination with other sounds, and was observed almost exclusively in swooshing noises (similar to barking). Mix- sounds, mostly growl- mixes, are mostly emitted in an agonistic context.
It was only observed in an agonistic context, mostly as a defence against obtrusive pups or for defending resources. It was described as a bite intention, where the receiver is never touched or hurt. Only a silent, but significant, clashing of the teeth could be heard. Males scent- mark more frequently than females, especially during the mating season. They also scent- rub whereby a dog rolls on its neck, shoulders, or back on something that is usually associated with food or the scent markings of other dogs. Their main time of activity is around dusk and dawn. The periods of activity are short (often less than one hour) with short times of resting.
They have two kinds of movement: a searching movement, apparently associated with hunting, and an exploratory movement, probably for contact and communication with other dogs. However, there are reports on dingoes that were not impressed by the presence of humans, for instance around camps in national parks, near streets or suburbs.
In general, livestock seems to make up only a small proportion of its diet. This narrow range of major prey indicates that wild dogs are rather specialised. The consumption of domestic cats has also been proven. Big reptiles are only rarely captured, at least in Eastern Australia, although they are widespread. It is possible that especially big monitor lizards are too defensive and well armed or simply able to flee fast enough into dens or climb trees.
In the gulf region of Queensland, feral pigs and agile wallabies are the dingo's main prey. In the rainforests of the North the main prey consists of magpie- geese, rodents and agile wallabies. In the southern regions of the Northern- Territory, the dogs mainly eat European rabbits, rodents, lizards, and red kangaroos; in arid central Australia rabbits, rodents, lizards, red kangaroos, and cattle carcass; and in the dry North- West Eastern Wallaroos and red kangaroos.
In the deserts of the South- West they primarily eat rabbits and in the eastern and south- eastern highlands wallabies, possums, and wombats. To what extent the availability of rabbits influences the composition of the diet could not be clarified. However because rabbit haemorrhagic disease killed a large part of the Australian rabbit population at the end of the 2. Also, on Fraser Island, fish were proven to be a part of the dingo diet. However the main prey species were bandicoots and several rodents. They also ate a lot of echidnas, crabs, small skinks, fruits, and other plants, as well as insects (mostly beetles). During these observations only 1.
Dingoes in coastal regions regularly patrol the coast for dead fish, seals, penguins, and other washed up birds. In the rural areas of Thailand and Sulawesi, dingoes were observed to hunt insects, rats, lizards, and other living prey along streets, rice fields, and forests. During the winter in arid regions, dingoes could potentially live from the liquid in the bodies of their prey, as long as the number of prey is sufficient. Similarly, weaned pups in central Australia are able to draw their necessary amount of liquid from their food. There, regurgitation of water by the bitches for the pups was observed. During lactation, females have no higher need of water than usual, since they consume the urine and feces of the pups and therefore recycle the water and keep the den clean.
For bigger prey, due to their strength and potential danger, two or more individuals are needed. Such group formations are unnecessary when hunting rabbits or other small prey.
Dingoes typically hunt large kangaroos by having lead dingoes chase the quarry toward their waiting pack mates, which are skilled at cutting corners in chases. In one area of Central Australia, dingoes hunted kangaroos by chasing them toward a wire fence which would hinder their escape. Dingoes also steal the prey of eagles and the coordinated attack of three dingoes for killing a large monitor lizard was observed. There are also reports which state that some dingoes virtually live entirely on human food through stealing, scavenging, or begging. In fact dingoes are well- known for such a behavior in some parts of Australia. It is suspected that this might cause the loss of hunting strategies or a change in the social structures.
Although the dingoes killed many sheep at that time, they still killed and ate kangaroos. During the early 1. Often a dog only chases and outruns a single sheep, just to turn away suddenly and chase another. Therefore, only a small proportion of the hurt or killed sheep and goats are also eaten which seems to be the rule and not the exception. The dog probably falls into some kind of .
