Australia has lots of unusual animals, mainly marsupials that dont live anywhere else in the world. One that is not a marsupial and thought to be a descendant of the wolf.
We can work out how most animals here evolved like no where else in the world because Australia is an island continent and these animals would have been isolated for millions of years, but how did the dingo get here?
DIngo's can be bred with normal dogs to produce whole new breeds.
This photo was taken at 7 in the evening that's why there are long shadows that set the mood.

Dingos are considered pests down under.

@CoachME As much a symbol as kangaroos are, a pest.

I've read about Dingos before, but did not know they could breed with domestic dogs! That's kinda interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Wishing for a polar vortex in Sydney right now :). We are going through a heat wave. 35-40 degrees C for the last 2 weeks. (95 - 104 F)

Don't know how the dingos got to Australia, but Australia does have some unusual mammal like the duck billed platypus and the koala bear.
