Dogs are generally considered the first domesticated animal, while its ancestor is generally considered to be the wolf, but where the Australian dingo fits into this framework is still debated, according to a retired Penn State anthropologist. "Indigenous Australians understood that there was something...
What kind of animal is a dingo? Do dingoes bark? How tall is an okapi? What is the average size of a bull shark? How do dingoes communicate? Are dingoes an introduced species to Australia? How big is the Patagonian Desert? How big do African rock pythons get? How tall is a gray wo...

the dingo is a predominantly meat-eating omnivorous animal, and lacks the expansions of the alpha-amylase locus giving improved starch digestion in dog lineages that are associated with agrarian societies12,20,21. Although not a variant associated with domestication22, it differentiates dingoes and wo...

Pinpoint genes underlying the transition from wild animal to perfect pet in terms of temperament and behaviour. The non-domesticated behaviour and temperament of the dingo will be a ground-breaking and important tool in this discovery process. Develop a next-generation genetic test to distinguish pu...
The study, led by UNSW Ph.D. student Lisa Steindler, is published in the journalAnimal Behaviour. The team studied bilbies that had never been exposed to dogs or other introduced predators. The bilbies were in the Arid Recovery Reserve in South Australia – a large fenced enclosure free of ...
