| Dingoes |
 Canis lupus dingo. We have 3 male dingoes and 1 female. The dingo evolved from the Indian wolf about 6 thousand years ago and came to Australia in boats from Asia about 3500 – 4000 years ago. It has spread all over Australia, except for Tasmania. In wilderness areas dingoes form packs of up to 12 and usually only the dominant pair breeds. Dingoes will eat carrion or kill buffalo, kangaroos, rabbits, geese or even insects. Our dingoes have a huge enclosure with a pool, caves and places to explore, but they like to talk to people, so you can see them easily. It is becoming more and more evident that the presence of Dingoes in an area excludes feral cats and therefore protects the smaller marsupials who are in danger of extinction.
