Dingo Australia Wild Dog Custom Blue Boys Cushion

Dingoes are Australia’s only native canid. They're naturally lean, weighing between 13kg and 18kg and standing about 60cm tall. Their coats are commonly golden yellow, but they may have reddish, tan and black fur. They typically have white markings on their chest, feet and tail tip. Their large ears and muzzle are pointed. Pack animals, they live in groups of 10 or so individuals, though young males are often solitary. They usually remain in one area but can cover large distances beyond their territory if conditions require or when young animals disperse. Dingoes hold a significant place in the spiritual and cultural practices of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. They feature in dreamtime stories and ceremonies, on cave paintings and rock carvings. Dingoes descend from Asian canids. Research into their origin and the timing of their arrival is ongoing. Recent analysis of the genetics of both the Dingo and the closely related New Guinea Singing Dog provides evidence that they arrived in Oceania at least 8,300 years ago. Regardless of the exact timing of their arrival, Dingoes are considered native to Australia
