Dingos what are they?

Dingoes (Canis lupus dingo) belong to the species of the grey wolf (Canis lupus). They are descendants of domestic dogs which were brought to the Australian continent by Southeast Asian seafarers around 3500-4000 BC. There are also theories stating that dingoes descend from early Eurasian wolf populations. Dingoes have distinctive features, including their reddish or tawny fur, medium to large size (between 11–14 kg (24–31 lb) in weight and 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in height at the shoulder), and pointed, erect ears. They are territorial, forming social packs with rigid social hierarchies, and are predominantly carnivorous. Dingoes have played significant ecological roles in Australia, both positive (such as controlling certain pest species) and negative (such as predation on livestock). They have also influenced the culture, folklore, and mythology of Indigenous Australian communities.
