5 Interesting Facts About Dingoes!

  • Dingoes are thought to have arrived in Australia around 4,000 years ago, brought by Asian seafarers - making them one of the more recent arrivals to the continent.
  • Unlike domestic dogs, dingoes don't bark - they howl, whine and make a range of other vocalisations, but a traditional woof simply isn't in their repertoire.
  • They have rotating wrists, which means they can turn door handles, open latches and climb fences - something very few other canines can manage.
  • The dingo fence in Australia is one of the longest structures on Earth at over 5,600km - built to keep dingoes away from sheep farming areas in the south-east.
  • Dingoes play a crucial role in the Australian ecosystem as apex predators - studies have shown that areas with healthy dingo populations have more balanced and biodiverse habitats.
