How many dingos are there?

Unfortunately, there is no exact count of how many dingos there are in the wild.

Here's why:

* Vast Range: Dingos live across a very large and diverse area, covering most of mainland Australia.

* Elusive Nature: Dingos are elusive and shy animals, making them difficult to track and count.

* Changing Populations: Dingo populations fluctuate based on factors like rainfall, food availability, and human interactions.

However, estimates suggest that there are tens of thousands of dingos in Australia.

Some studies have used methods like scat surveys and camera trapping to estimate their numbers, but these are still rough estimates.
