The Dingo is popularly as the Australian wild dog. The origin of the Dingo is considered to be the Indian Wolf. The Dingo is not found only in Australia, with the physical features being a mixture of modern dogs and Indian wolves. Dingo was named so by the Aora Aboriginals who were the original inhabitants of Sydney.

According to records dingoes were brought first to Australia, by the Austronesian merchants, in around 3000 BC. The dingo spread in occupation and became the companion animal of the aboriginals. The dingoes can still be found in the southern part of Australia. There are a lot of legal contradictions on owning the dingo as a pet animal because they are unpredictable in behavior. That is the reason they were used more as the hunting and guarding animal by the aboriginals rather than as the pet animal by the white occupants of Australia.

The dingoes can be found in almost all the forest regions of Australia, from rainforests to deserts. The most important feature of the dingo is that it never barks, rather howls more. They are lean in structure and are creamish yellow in color. They can be found in a group or they can be living on their own also. The dingo goes hunting for food in the night. The extinction of this animal is leading to inter cross breeding, which has lessened the individuality of the dingo as a different group of dog species living under the sun. Dingo is often considered to be a pest by the Australians because they cause a lot of harm to the livestock.
