Are dingoes dogs? Are dingoes native? No! Yes! Lots of dingo facts!
Huge thank you to the Dingo Discovery Centre in Toolern Vale, VIC and the dingoes there :)

Foxes are in the the genus Vulpes, not Canis
That's true! Dingoes are in the Canis genus, but same _family_ (Canidae) that has foxes. It's what I said, but you're right of course it could have been WAY clearer! It was confusing that I left the word Canis on the screen as I said it.
@@TicketToKnow it depends on which system you choose. I like Canis fulpes better. Why to put them in different genus, if their crosses are fertile?
Iâm so dumb I thought canines were a family please ignore me
@@beesoup4638 some systems put them in Canis. Canis vulpes. Canidae family. The latter is better because they can be bred with dogs and the puppies grow up fertile.
@@vladimirberegovoy2886 wait can I legally have one as a pet like theyâre dangerous I know but theyâre so cute they look like a western adaptation of a shiba inu
It is ironic that dingoes lost their status as a protected species in Western Australia because of crossbreeding with domestic dogs as Western Australia is where most of the last purebred dingoes still live in Australia...
Recent studies indicate that purebred dingoes are a lot more common than previously thought and not threatened.

We don't judge half breed humans we shouldn't judge half breed dingos.
We owned a Dingo. His name was Hunter. He was never accepted by any dogs at dog parks or even in passing on a walk. He was a funny dog and a bit stubborn but very loving to his family and an excellent watch/guard dog. We miss him terribly and wish we could adopt another Dingo. He was the sweetest baby.
My last canine companion was a pure Dingo, my current two canine companions are both Dingo Dog crosses, Even a drop of Dingo blood significantly improves a dog. Loyalty, obedience, social living etc are all improved once the human family accepts that it is now a pack. I loved and I still miss Tucker but Bella and Dustyreally fill the Tucker sized whole in my heart. The only time any of them has ever shown aggression is when they encounter a fox, all three kill foxes on sight, they are well fed so they don't kill for food, but foxes are killed out of pure hatred.
So you seriously had a Dingo as a pet? I came to the comments section to ask if this was possible, because I was always under the impression that Dingo's had a mentality closer to a Coyote than a Domestic Dog. Always assumed they were wild enough to be dangerous to humans, apparently they're very dangerous to foxes... Any idea why?
Had a dingo cross kelpie, it was one of the most intelligent, loyal dogs Iâve met. He had so much dingo in him and heâd do all the classic dingo traits like climbing trees and high places, he would even bring other wild dingos home with him until they got close enough to realise he was domesticated and theyâd fuck off for the tree line.
He was a great dog. Rip max, got done by a snake
@@nuru666 competition is the normal reason why apex predators kill other predators, lions in Africa kill leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, painted dogs and jackals.
Never thought I'd want a herding breed until my red heeler picked me. They've got some dingo in the breeding history from what I've read, and everything I've seen about dingos confirms it. Like typical of heelers, he picked me - and never lets me forget it. You don't "own" one. It's a partnership, and you have to accept that sometimes they'll see something you missed and outthink you. In Northern Nevada on cattle ranches, heelers are the most popular breed I've seen. And he's hardly freckled like most heelers; his coat has more of the solid dingo red with the white-tipped tail.
Absolutely - loyalty, love, independent thinking, trust. Character judgement. I never worry for my safety on long roadtrips if Mars comes along. When we were on the farm, Mars knew each and every farmcat that belonged, and was hell on any unknown strays that showed up - and if two cats were fighting he had to break up the fight.
Had red quarter cross there good
I had a female Dingo named Bob for 14 years. Most intelligent animal I've ever known.
I to had a part dingo part German Shepherd named Lindy. Soo smart and very loyal ,just thinking of her now brings a smile to my face.
According to national geographic, dogs have almost twice as much neurons as cats. Making them almost twice as intelligent
i was camping on Fraser Island in Christmas 2001, i left my mate back at the tent and wandered off to the shore to check our bait lines. As i was returning to the tent which was in shouting distance i noticed 5 dingoes. One came closer to me and the others started to circle me. Before i knew what was happening 1 had got behind me so was now between me and the sea, I could see our tent maybe 100 yards away and tried to walk slowly towards it. The 4 dingoes were now closing in leaving the 5th to remain between me and the sea. Thankfully Gavin my cousin appeared on the dune and they went. I am not really sure if they were likely to attack a stocky fully grown human but they put the fear of C..p into me. They were very hungry looking it was very very hot and the summer had already hit records. Weird as just van hour later our camp area was hit by a mini cyclone. We lost the tent! We had all our cooking gear and plenty of fresh water but slept in the Jeep.

we do had stray native land dogs looks exactly like dingo,
no matter how you mix/hybrid cool looking purebred dog with these stubborn wedge face dog, this wedge face will never go away...
-some called it Jungle Dog
-some called it unclean scavengers
-some called them the Pariah (low class) uncategorised Dog or (Rejected Breed after human started selected breeding plan)
-some said they are spitz dog related family (such as Husky/Basenji/Shiba Inu/Chow Chow)
-some believed is a type of domestic dog that had been stray for long time so that it turned back wild again (even is wild but still friendly toward human and live nearby with human)
in South China is believed this type of dog don't wish to be with human so they never get to be 100% domesticated (but still can be use for watch dog)
even America do had a dog breed called Carolina Dog that look similar to Dingo
i believed Dingo is just an average stray dog (Pariah Dog / Spitz Dog) that can be found in other country... Their body is healthy looking dog that can be adaptable to human condition...
you see Dingo is still timid than wolf, although they behave independent (they are somewhat Semi-Domestic type)
i had Telomian Dog (a Native Malaysia Dog , breed by Native people) the way they pet their dog as free-range dog walking around the village and killed snakes and vermins.
if you are a big fan of purebred domestic dog (this Pariah Dog is a hard to swallow choice of dog for you) this type of dog had their own independent will of Semi-Domestic (almost felt like having a cat) , that's why the Australian thought of Dingo as wild Dog, is actually how the native human ancestor keep them in their way
(The free-ranging way)
totally agree, I have a Korean dog which is exactly as you described, has that wedge face that is common amongst many "Jungle Dog/Pariah Dog/spitz" if you look they are common in Africa too. It is just a shape of dog that is easy to survive for some reason, I think. My dog wouldn't have made it in the wild but her mom was a street dog. I say she wouldn't have made it because she almost died when young because she got sick and if we didn't have a vet, she wouldn't have made it. Oh well, she is healthy now and seeing people wanting the Dingo killed off as if they are some unknown predator and not just a wild dog is quite gross.
@@Itstime1231 purebred dog breed are mostly suffering deformities, i considered them as disability dog , that's why purebred dogs always had health problems. And really need medication attention. Operation here and there.
if you look at this almond eyes with wedge face, erect ear, rectangular body, long leg , can be long tail or curl tail. Is the most typical dog can be found on street. No matter what happened to them, they can be more healthy than purebred, no need vet also can survived by themselves, they are totally best choice for poor family as watch dog...
( i love them because is a similar of a wolf body , proof is natural, a mother nature way selection process of breeding, not a human man-made selecting breed)
Human are very cruel towards dog especially purebred (they are actually inbreeding dog with their gene kept in a group)
gross job because of money, sad choice...
well i prefer adopt stray dog free range ,
love their semi-domestic wolf like body
is super easy to care
is like a cat with independent thinker.
Not like a pervert humping on human leg retard purebred dog. (ugh !... đŁđ©)
â@@leongliyang6946i also like my stray adopted dog. We took him in as a pup and he has never failed us with barking at anyone who approaches the door. He is cute and very loving, i don't really see how dingos are any different from normal dogs
Dingos remind me of the Japanese dogs Shiba Inu!
Right they look like 25wolf 75 shiba inu
Great video. But re the issue in WA where it is proposed to remove the fauna status of the Dingo. This is not because of the level of Hybridisation as mentioned (WA actually has some of the most genetically intact populations of Dingoes on the continent). It is because, under the new Biodiversity Act, ALL fauna will be regarded as 'protected' and the Department Of Bidiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) Can NOT allow the dingo to be classed as Fauna and therefore 'protected' as it stuffs up their 'management' programs for Dingoes and 'wild dogs'. ie,. Their continued agenda to completely erradicate the Dingo in WA using proprietory and trademarked 1080 baits that the DBCA gain great financial profit from. The declassification of the Dingo is politically and financially motivated. Simple.
That's awful
Why not hunt them down to critically endangered species like they did with thylacine? I mean, I know that there were other mitigating factors with the extinction of thylacine, like an already struggling population, the fact that dingoes can breed faster and increase their population, and compete for the niche that thylacine existed in, but I think it would still put a big dent in the dingo population if people went after them like they did the thylacine
@@jfdblues Why would you do that? This is such a 19th-century view. Horrific.
@@AC-gw4qu I agree, my statement was over the top, and I know the issue is way more complicated than that. I guess I just got emotional about the subject because I just want to see thylacine running around Australia tasmania ping. I will say that dingoes have been proven to be descendants of domesticated dogs from polynesia, and I guess that is part of the reason that I am sceptical of their classification as their own subspecies of canine, and the fact that they look like a dog that ran out of its owners yard ha. Did not mean to offend anyone, and hunting down any animal like that is not cool at all
So it's like a certain vaccine.
Great educational video you made here. Enjoyed it immensely.
Excellent production - thanks.
Personally I think the Australian Dingo, Pariah Dog, Pharaoh Dog, Singing Dog, Carolina Dog, and the street dogs of India and Asia are all closely related. All originally wild and many roam in packs, able to hunt as a unit but not too proud to hang out for some love and handouts.
Have you done morphological comparisons? The pictures I have seen of the Pariah dogs loog like domestic dogs, not dingoes. The definitive comparison would be DNA samples, as Dingoes are quite different from domestic dogs.
@@paullangford8179 but sir, dont you consider it possible the howlers/yoddlers are a particular breed of dogs that came with later migrants to australia which were their pets, which later became feral/wild. Both( wild howler dogs and dingoes) took up niches after megafauna extinction and have also caused extinction of species. And they both howl rather than bark. And there are some dog breeds that also have similar characteristics.
Its just possible that the tribes had howling dogs with them.
Dingo is a domestic dog just adapted to the different environment and became a wild dog.
@@jxmai7687 Not really. It's classed as a 'primitive aboriginal dog' - aboriginal in this case meaning native, not specifically australian indigenous people. Domestic dogs and wolves have a common ancestor, and it is much more probable that domestic dogs derived from the 'paleolithic wolf'. They are definitely not derived from grey wolves that a lot of people think they do.
Righto! And read the description of the dog in the book "Old Yaller": it does NOT describe the Golden Retriever that stars in the Disney flic. Two friends of mine got Yaller Dogs- one from a town in a canyon in NW Mexico, the other was pulled out of a den on a ranch next to the Tohono O'odham reservation in Arizona. Dingoes! And I've met some "perros criollos" ("native dogs") in Coastal Ecuador which are a bit lighter in build and a better color for jungle camo (fawn with umber above} but the behavior is the same. An Aussie friend saw dingoes on an island off Viet Nam too- so I figure they were on the first canoes to cross north across the Pacific and come down the coast of the Americas. They're great companions on a cold night sleeping on the ground in the desert, I can testify, and my friend who lives in the Sierras says her Yaller "dog" won in a fight with a bear trying to ransack the chicken coop.
A brilliant analysis.
Thank you!
Cool! Most of this is information that I didn't know. I really enjoyed the video. đ
Amazing video!!
They have highest % purity n WA, and WA govt want to call them wild dogs because of lack of purity, how disingenuous.. Great vid.. cool vision from Dingo Discovery Centre
Kateena Kitiyana highest purity is Fraser Island. Never bred with a domestic dog.
@@davo8955 Incorrect.
Leigh Mullan bullshit. Put a link up.
@@davo8955 Common misconception
Same thing in NSW where they call fully conforming Dingoes âwild dogsâ & put them on the pest species list but refuse to do it for feral cats. Dingoes should be protected & if pasturalists canât be bothered using dog proof fencing, camelids, donkeys or those Italian protection dogs, they shouldnât be allowed to have pastural leases in the 1st place.
I would have thought the aborigines were Australia's top predator.
One thing you did not mention is that dingos only breed once a year unlike feral dogs.
The biggest part the video missed is that the Australian dingo is the descendants of Indian Pariah dogs. Not South East but India.
@Peter Breis Dingoes also reach maturity at approximately 1 year of age, while many domestic Dogs will start breeding at 6 months or less in age unless they are neutered or spayed.
@@souravde2029 Ah, but South Asia's Pariah Dogs are descendants of Dogs from East Asia, as are Southeast Asia's Pariah Dogs. The most recent archeological evidence is that all Dogs are derived entirely from a small gene pool of Wolves in East Asia!
@@motherlandbot6837 Link to the research papers that states the same, Please :) .
@@souravde2029 CZcams usually removes direct links to both internal and external sources.
Check the following:
1. Cell Research Vol 26 (2016), pps 21-33 Out of southern East Asia: The Natural history of domestic dogs across the world. Downloadable as a .pdf file. There are 16 authors, both Asian and European for this very extensive genetic analysis.

A detailed picture of the origin of the Australian Dingo, obtained from the study of mitochondrial DNA. Also available as a .pdf download. This is my specific reference for the geographic as well as the genetic origin of the Dingo.
Unlike the often very conjectural articles in the popular media and anthropological publications about the origin of Dingoes and of Dogs in general, both studies cited here are relatively recent, and rely on extensive surveys and mapping of Wolf genes and mitochondrial DNA sequences in Dogs and Dingoes.
P. S. I'm a retired biologist. DNA sequencing has drastically altered our view of both animal and plant lineages and evolution!
I owned a dingo and she lived for 17 years. The most loyal, smart DOG i ever owned. Was so gentle with people and young kids but was very territorial with other dogs even though we tried to teach her otherwise. i think its the biggest load of crap saying they are a different species from a dog. Its dog handsdown!
I think it was political motivated, they don't it as a dog, because they want Australia different to or disconnect with Asian, so even the history of a dog specie they want to cover up.
wolf, dog mix that's been isolated for a few thousand years. What classification we give it does it matter that much? There gens are mixing and changing so would probebly change several times in the future what classifications we give it and in a few hundreds of years or somthing we sure will just call them dogs.
@@P4hko it matters because the western world will go out of their way for a dog but if they classify dingos as a different wild animal then everyone will treat them like Coyotes when they're just dogs that came over with humans and have been running wild for a few thousand years. Plenty of people have gotten them when young and raised them just fine. That being said, they are likely not the easiest dog breed to own as they weren't bred/haven't needed to live in modern society with humans. Treating them like an other animal is what gets so many killed and discarded.
It's just colonialism going strong in Australia as always.
Thank you for a good explanation of Dingo origin.
l have a pure dingo x (red heeler x dingo) which looks for all intent like a dingo except some red spots on his sox. He yips and howls, but mimicked my sisters dog and learnt to bark, which he rearly does. Genetics confirm " high content " dingo at minimum 70% to max 80%. When he is introduced or interacting with another dingo or dingo x communication, body language and play are noticeablely different from 8nteracting with domestic dogs. He excavated and eats worms and grubs, some natural vegetation which even my dingo x Australian sheep dog didn't do.
He has been trained as an assistance dog, and exceeded all training parameters well ahead of other dogs and is highly attuned to anxiety, 'bad' energy, distress, gried, My assistance papers say " unknown mixed breed " for the reason below
What I can't understand is I live in NSW, with in a stones throw of Qld, having a dingo (pure or high content) and training as an assistance dog is legal in NSW but in Qld I can have my dog impounded ( and even euthanised) as it is not legal in in QLD unless under allowed under very stringent permit system.
I have not been given any reason as to why this difference is the case. Does Any one know????
Dingos always seemed very cute to me. Perhaps this is because of their funny name, or maybe because they are very similar to foxes. But hovewer, this was very interesting. Well done
not cute when they kill an 8 year old child.
Dingoes have paedomorphic skulls (including crania), with puppylike features, unlike ancestral and other wild canids (Wolves, Coyotes, jackals, Dholes, African Wild Dogs, etc.) This is a feature selected against among medium sized to large wild canids.
I always thought their faces were kinda like a Shiba Inu
@@nuru666 Many Spitz type Dogs (Shiba Inu, Akita Inu, Samoyed, Chow Chow, Malamute, etc.) have this type of face, but these are all northern origin breeds that with the exception of the Shiba Inu, have fairly to very long dense fur, and all usually carry their tail curled over their hindquarters. Dingoes do not, and are believed to descend from tropical Dog breeds. Genetically, Spitz type Dogs are closer to their Wolf ancestor than any other group of Dogs.
Dingos are similar to foxes in the same way a dog that looks like a fox is similar to foxes haha
đ€ the dingo most likely came from New Guinea and south east Asia considering the shared characteristics. They also have shared characteristics as the Carolina dogs in the United States which are descendant from the semi wild dogs kept by the indigenous Americans and Native Americans.
I had a dog here in Texas that looked just like a dingo . Best dog I ever had . Smart and always looking to protect us . My good friend .
Fascinating video. Here in the US, we have the very similar-looking Carolina Dog. It too apparently has East Asian genes in it and no one is 100% sure where it came from. Today, it is recognized by some kennels clubs in the US as an official dog breed.
The head seems much smaller
My Dad may have had a Dingo in the 70s, his neighbors would tell him his "dog" would get on the roof while my dad was at work. Not long after he came home one day and the "dog" was just gone. Wasn't waiting around for no human.
I'd say it was human intervention,neighbors are cunts
This video makes me want a icy cold drink.
Once I was filling out a form for a kennel I was going to board my dog at. She is a mutt with unknown history so there wasnât a clear choice for the âbreedâ field in the form. It was a drop down and as I was scanning I came across âNew Guinea Singing Dogâ. I had never heard of anything like that so as a laugh I entered that as breed. No one from the kennel ever mentioned it and it never came up again. When I heard the narrator say the breed name at 3:19 my jaw dropped and I got a warm fuzzy feeling that my sweet muttâs adopted breed was represented. đ
I have seen plenty in fnq , especially Daintree in the forest it's good to see them around
they look like large shiba inus
They are wild doges đ
I have a dog that is half dingo, he is very intelligent and is so faithful, we luv him so much, best dog I ever owned.
DINGO NOT WILD DOGS
Nice animations.
Can dingos have spotted/marked tongues?
I'm trying to identify a dog but I'm not sure if she's full dingo
Anyone else here because they have an Australian cattle dog and you're realizing you're dealing with a dog that's more dingo than house dog?
I breed them,reds mostly but im well aware they're no ordinary dog,they are actually three quarters dingo one quarter Northumbrian Cur but are more like human than canine. Kelpies and the Australiam stumpy tailed cattle dogs are also part dingo
I had one and he was a total push over, the cattle dog not a pure dingo. Rocky was a dog I would use as a pillow, didn't exactly scream anything predatory....
Enlightening - beautifully produced. - so much more to know, yet. And no predator would go live in Tasmania 10,000 years ago, because it was glacial, and dinner does not pop out of ice. There are, even today, none of the mythical "wild dogs" there, nor in New Zealand, so a big rethink on the nomenclature is required, not from an agricultural standpoint, but a natural one. And doubt that any ShiTzu cross would ever "party" with a dingo. Enjoyed this work. Await the next episode.
Thank you Lyn! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The domestic dog representation was of course tongue-in-cheek :)
Err lynette, we have the alpine dingo, habitat is the alpine regions of the snowy mountains.
One question, if the tas tiger, quall, devil were able to survive why not the dingo.
Maybe they did not get down that far, or maybe the fact that the environment and other peak predators made it unsuitable for their hunting style.
The caucasidy of some people dogs have been in nz since my ancestors have been here đ
Mate nice work on dingo had quoter cross red dog
You "almost" right my friend .
Dingo in australia came from java island indonesia . My ancestor was sailor (fisherman) and they bring our working dogs(you call it dingo now) where we got them from the wild when they still a puppy and raise them up and after get adult they helping us to eat pest in our rice field etc.. and our ancestors bring it to sailing visit papua nugini and australia.. they from the wild so ofcourse some of them get lost and keep breeding in your country . Until today we still have their generation in mount bromo and in bali as 1978 we got huge problem with our kingdom (majapahit kingdom) so some of us move to Bali island and bring our dogs too and now we called it Bali dog . They are working dogs and get used to live in the bush or jungle . Survive from hunting etc.. they are great good dogs . Before you feed them make sure you "Spit it the food from of them" before you give it to them .
Do not think it's gross No It's Not.. it's my ancestors way to show it to the dingo if We are their parents .
1. Their parents after hunting they keep it in their belly and spew it so the puppy can eat.. We copy that way so they think we are spew the food so they can eat .
2. To make them recognize our gulliver so they know if we are their parents ,not other human as they remember our gulliver smells .
Trust me.. it's okay you keep dingo as a pets as long you do that and keep your love and rules balance.. or they will control you and get nasty . They smart but not obedience . Control them with food and never ever feed them with Blood . Once they taste blood they will think it's food as that's what happen in the wild when they hunting . But don't give it(blood) if you keep them as a pets .
Thank you
I can imagine a feral cane corso dingo mix to be an awesome powerful animal. Not saying that its right or wrong. Just imagining that beautiful hybrid
Why weren't the dingos on Fraser island mentioned?
They're supposed to be the purest strain of dingos in Australia.
There are many purebred dingoes in the desert. Many people think only Fraser Island has the purest dingo.
I don't know the area of Fraser Island, but wonder how much territory each animal demands, for sufficient food and space. At what point does "pure strain" become the detrimental inbreeding that causes a species downfall?
@@Neenerella333 there are no domestic dogs on Fraser Island they are illegal keeping the species pure
I have 3 Dingo Hybrid "dogs". One is Australian Cattle Dog , one Dingo/ Husky, one Dingo/Shepard. I live in Hawaii and use them to hunt wild boar. Cool video â€â€â€
Canis vulpes - red fox. Canis lupus - gray wolf. Canis lupus familiaris - domesticated wolf, which became dog. Canis lupus dingo - semidomesticated form of wolf. Australia, as well as USA, has a very bad environmental record. Greed rules.
You have a citation for fox binomial? I would very much like to see it.
The latest studies show that dogs and the modern wolf Canis lupus separated from an ancient, now extinct form of wolf around 50,000 years ago. While the very likely area of origin of the dingo was South-East Asia (Sunda) and later on became the domestic dog by entering a symbiotic relationship with man. Both the dingo but especially the modern dog has been backcrossed to Canis lupus and this Canis lupus DNA may have entered the dingo via the modern dog. In any case the latest yet unpublished colour genetic paper clearly shows the close relationship between the dingo and the Artic wolf in their colour genetics but not the rest of the grey wolves. This will need some more investigation but it is really exciting.
I like how dingoes are portrayed as an ugly and scary animal in cartoons. But in reality are adorable looking.
A lot of the mystery could be solved by the title: dingoes are ancient domestic dogs, and their DNA relatives are long gone. It's interesting that wherever domestic dogs are allowed to breed freely and are poorly fed, their appearance is remarkably similar to dingoes.
CZcams ads has been prolonging explanations that can be done in 1min by 10x
Exaggeration does your case no good,@@KYspeaksfood.
Well - no, Bob.
1. A title can't solve a mystery.
2. There's not _one_ mystery.
3. We do know more, as scientific research and technology advances.
Your comment sounds like a subjective view, re. the validity of the dingo's status as a species, or even as a subspecies.
Might you be a landowner with a stock animal business, and you dislike the presence of this native animal?
@@AsinineComment It's a feral domestic dog that looks like all the other Asian semi-feral dogs. I have no reason to care about it, time and money are better spent on truly endangered species.
They have a terribly different temperament to a normal dog
It's a dog, a variation within a species. If it breeds as succesfully with "domestic dogs" as seems, it's a dog withit's own breed of characteristics reflected in the genes...
Dingoes used to play an important role in keeping the balance of nature with their traditional prey.
Kangaroos, bilbys, numbats etc.
Now they have moved on to introduced species like cats, foxes, rabbits and babies...
how are babies an introduced species?

Hey I am a few years late but I wanted to ask if you know whether dingos exhibit the same reductions in brain size and tameness as domesticated dogs. I am writing a presentation for my biology class about domestication of animals and am not sure whether I can classify dingos as feral.
Depends on who you talk with...
If you think they are a nuisance and want to exterminate them, you call them feral dogs.
If you think they are an important apex predator controlling more recent exotic species, you don't call them feral dogs.
More than 10,000 years ago dingoes may have originated from Asian domestic dogs, but in my opinion you cannot call them feral dogs anymore...
@@Franky46Boy exactly sir, but we shouldnt allow them to hybridise with wild dogs as they might pick traits which herbivores in australia cannot adapt quickly. Also farmers start seeing benefits of dingoes due to push in education on why they benefit them and how they keep kangroos at bay.

I just watched a video on the forming of Tasmania; it looks like our ideas on it being a part of the mainland have been proven wrong. However, there was a stretch of land that spanned the mainland and Tasmania, making it easy access during hunting and gathering seasons; now it is filled with ocean water, (known as Bass Strait) isolating the island for migration of the thylacinidae, dingo and devils.
If you have ever been to Thailand you will see thousands of "dingoe's" patrolling the streets, colloqually they are known as "Soi" dogs, I have a couple as pets!!
Have you done DNA tests? Also, are they narrow-chested like dingoes, or wide-chested like dogs (compare width of head to width of chest). The dingo is a separate species from dogs, like wolves are.
@@paullangford8179 No Paul, why or how could I have the opportunity to do DNA tests? If you had seen Dingoes in Australia and in Thailand your eyes alone would see how similar they are! Yes they have very narrow chests as do the Thai ridge back dogs!
Yes, it has been argued that wild dogs in Thailand are closely related to dingos and NG singing dogs. One genetic study claims that southeast Asian wild dogs diverged from the dingo less than 16,300 years ago in which case dingos are not their own species, but are deeply nested within Canis familaris or Canis lupus familiaris.
When I went to Steeve Irvine ' place in Queensland the dingo s were so shy we didn't see them.
I have a she dog a Dingo. 11 years old but she is still our "baba" .( baby) . Very smart one. From Sri Lanka.
They look just like shibes
Kind of, in the colouring, but not in the proportions.
@@artostheimplacable4095 how are the proportions different?
@@artostheimplacable4095 there's a breed called Jindo, and they look sooo much alike
I just wanna know why every Australian animal has silly names.
Some of them are derived from other words in aboriginal languages (kangaroo, dingo, wombat), some are Greek (platypus), and some are from Greek mythology (echidna)!
This is Barris! - French History idk man, taipan sounds pretty sick!
Giraffe, tiger, hippopotamus, ostrich.... animals everywhere have weird names
Do something about your own name first.
neddy laddy I think youâre taking their comment way too seriously
i have a dingo kelpie his name is robbie a great assett for security,great with visitors,fantastic with any kids,ball time lol well behaved and no dirty habits,always up for some rough housing with me.grrrr.7yrs with us,even has time for a cuddle with our posty.
Listening to this Video, I would say that It is IMPERATIVE that Australia Protect the Dingo, Even Try to INCREASE THE WILD POPULATION OF PURE DINGOES as a Matter of Nature Conservation. The way Things are Going in a few Decades there May Be Few REAL DINGOES left in Australia.
Dingo ate my butter bean!
I thought it was the coolest thing to discover that bush dogs exist in south America. I had no idea that those types of dogs were alive and real. They are so cool. Dingo's are also very Basel lineages of the dog species.
Years ago I read somewhere that dingoes were originally predominantly solid black in colour but gradually the recessive red colour had taken over. I found this very interesting because it was the one and only time I've ever heard that mentioned. I was hoping that this video on dingo origins might have shed some light on this. Is it true were dingoes originally black.
Thereâs actually dingo packs up the mountains not far from my home and they arenât the red dingoes of Arnhem Land or Fraser Island, but have a dark coat and some even have white markings on their chest and legs. I thought they were feral domestic dogs but according to a documentary about them and talking with local Aboriginals I know they are 100% dingoes. They look identical except for the colour of their coat.
@@Dan_Ben_Michael I had seen a doc where there was a mixed pack of the reddish ones and the dark with white bellies. I wondered how common this was, or if that dark gene was always in there.
In deep forest areas of Queensland there are packs of black dingos
Often see black and tan dingoes as well in the UKTNP. That is a natural colour, not the result of breeding with Canis familiaris.
Brindle is actually the second most common colour of pure wild dingoes, but most are targeted in the false belief they are hybrids. 14% of pure wild dingoes are brindle, with only 52% being yellow.
we had the same features as Dingo in the Philippines, especially those street dogs you see them walking, running, and hanging around the street and they call them ASPIN. They also had the same features in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and other parts of Asia. If you visit Baguio in the Philippines which is a Mountain Province and you will see Dogs that almost look like Dingos same features. The dogs have been there for hundreds of years as their companion the Igorots and used the Dogs for hunting wild animals they are fast and fierce they can even put down a wild boar
Nice explanation involving population Genetics.
The most important thing to know about dingos is how to use the classic Aussie phrase, applied during seasons of low rainfall- âItâs as dry as a dead dingoâs donger!â
They're so cute. đ We should feed them! They look like shiba inus.
I live with a whole pack (7) of dingo descendants. LOL Australian Cattle Dogs are directly bred from them. Unlike most domestic breeds, the ACD is closer in "language", pack dynamics, behavior, etc to African Wild Dogs and Dingos than to domestic dogs. Much like wolves have a different "dialect" than dogs, ACDs/Dingos do as well. We also have other non ACD dogs and the way we handle them and train them is markedly different. Even if dingos may cross breed with dogs, the pups will still be intrinsically Dingo.
Does this mean that the announcement of around twenty years ago that claimed dingoes to have arrived in Australia ten thousand years before Man has been disproved? Although recent studies have pushed the arrival of Man back another ten thousand years thus realigning their arrivals, so what are we meant to believe?
An honest question from a South African dog lover. My neighbor on the farm next to us has a Blue Heeler. Or Australian cattle dog. A truly beautiful animal that has decided I am his friend. So he visits regularly. But he only tolerates my dogs. Im told heelers are a dingo cross?? Is that true?
Dingos are beautiful dogs I had the pleasure of pating a dingo pup when I was a kid at a zoo in Australia
And they eat anything, especially fond of infant children.
Robert King the dingo ate my baby
Za mara
Or dingos were in Australia while Tasmania was separating and dingos just have not been able to migrate that far south at the time.
Check 'Sinhala hound dog', related to dingo and link to Indian step wolf
With what I have seen in the Americas, the South Asian Wolves made it across the Pacific and their descendants are alive and well; I've met one from NW Mexico, one from the Tohono O'odham reservation on the Mexican border, and a thriving population in the wildest remaining part of the Ecuadorian coast, the Galera peninsula, although they are mostly darker- it's jungle there.) There's even a new N. American land race recognized, the Carolina Dog, (which to my eye show a bit of interbreeding with domestic dogs.) They survived on the Savannah Nuclear Reservation. Two friends of mine in the US have had these dogs? dingos? as pets, and they are different. Read the description of "Old Yaller" in the book- it's spot on. (don't watch the old Disney flick, the dog is a frikkin' retriever! :)
Have any studies been done to compare the original Poi dogs of Hawai'i with the Dingo?
There are wild dogs in india that whistle they are very elusive
Looks similar to Jindo!
Aliens dropped them off because they kept barking in the spaceship and they couldn't get any sleep.
They are beautiful.
When we look at their body shape , they are so close to dhole... small size wolf which lives in peninsular malaysia up to india..
DINGO
Got a dog recently that was supposedly half shiba inu half korean jindo but they look like these Eastern dingo/ singing dog
We found a dingo on the porch so I decided to keep It But now I just don't know Because this is a amazing I don't know what to say And now her name is rosemary because I decided to name her that
I'm from American but That's That's so cute! Hope rosemary is doing good :)
How is she doing?
Doggos are doggos are doggos are good bois.
Dingos are the second smartest organism in Australia, aside from humans
Australian raven are way smarter almost primate level
Birds are the smartest, alot smarter than humans.
It's interesting that the dingoes are kind of a reddish color. I watched a show some years back that explained that feral dog packs in Russia, seemed to all end up with the perky ears and dark coats in that environment. I wonder if they had that reddish color when they arrived in Australia, or how quickly it arose otherwise.
Pure dingoes can also be brindle, various black coats, white with patches and sable to name a few.
You should look into the American dingo, also known as the Carolina dog.
Research by the Australian National University suggests that Dingoes were introduced as early as 3500 years ago. "Dingoes constitute the only hard evidence of non-European people visiting Australia prior to European contact about 400 years ago...
"They were almost certainly introduced as domestic animals, once in Australia they became feral but were tamed by Indigenous Australians and used as companions animals in much the same way as dogs today.." I've also read that southern India is a likely source
"Using DNA..."
*DNA.jpg* moves across the screen
so helpful
How closely related are Dingos to Jindo Gae from the Jindo island in Korea?
I wonât say what the dingo ateâŠ.
But you know what the dingo ate!
I thought dogs and dingos were Canis lupus (wolf) subspecies?
Noooooooo. If they have wolf and "dog" DNA, they are descended from *wolves* . Just like dogs are in fact. No mystery.
One theory is that they crossed into Sahul with humans, as domesticated animals.
Hey!. Your gonna be featured in my upcoming video, rapid reaction pt3, should be out sometime nxt few days, stay tuned
Looking forward to it! Iâve see some of your other reaccs and loved âem
I think it might be worth the effort to figure out how long it takes ice to meltđź. Then you can extrapolate:)
Dingo X Greyhound would make a hell of a Lurcher imho.
4:35 TIL that Mordor is in Australia and not New Zealand
Ahahaha
question how did the Tasmanian Tiger get to Tassie ?
Native north american dogs were extinct from interbreeding with european dogs. Hopefully this won't be the same. I mean, Australia doesn't have a good track record with large apex predators (i.e., thylacine) so let's just pray that they don't mess anything up
Most probably they're link with the New Guinea singing dog.
I thought that both domestic dogs and dingoes have been reclassified as canis lupus familiaris and canis lupus dingo, respectively.
Looks like my Japanese akita.â„ïžđđœ
