Watch Our Animals online: Episode 10 Dingoes

Dingoes are Australia's native dogs. They can be brown, black or white and usually live in packs. They have lots of different howls which mean different things. Their territory is important to them. They mark it with their wee and by scratching the ground. Only the most important male and female are allowed to be parents but the whole pack will help to bring up the pups. Females have their pups in a den. Dens could be a cave or a wombat burrow. Generally 4 or 5 pups are born. Dingoes are mammals, so the pups drink milk from their mother's nipples. Pups learn by doing whatever the adults do. Dingoes like to eat rabbits and kangaroos but if there aren't any of those animals around they will hunt other animals.
