Dingo (Canis lupus dingo), young female, family Canidae, Great Sandy Desert, Western Australia

There are different ways at looking at Dingo taxonomy... I am making the decision to go with classifying them and domestic dogs as wolves... because they are.

Dingo Party Something fun :3 I recently learned that dingoes come in a variety of coat colors. While many people assume these different colors mean they’re crossbreeds, they’re actually all pure dingoes. (Recent research suggests dingoes evolved from early domestic dogs that descended from wolves. Dingoes are genetically distinct from modern dogs in some ways, such as lacking starch digestion genes and having extra vertebrae that make them more flexible. They are still wild animals, having lived in Australia for thousands of years.
