The dingo, Canis dingo, is a wild dog native to Australia, particularly the deserts and scrublands. They are thought to be descended from domesticated dogs brought to Australia by Aboriginal peoples thousands of years ago. A typical dingo is yellowish-tan, with large ears and a bushy tail with a white tip.
