Two dingoes, Djarrah (ginger, desert type) and Wilka (ginger, alpine type), get to spend some time in the main enclosure.
Djarrah, as usual, gets engaged in some “fence-fighting” with Stormy (black/tan, alpine type). They live in different enclosures and consider each other to be rivals of different packs.
In the wild, packs clearly define their borders with scent markings and howling, and avoid confrontations.
Wilka is just interested in exploring scents left by other dingoes and leaving her own.
The dingo is an endangered type of wolf that has lived on the Australian mainland for thousands of years and evolved alongside prey species to establish efficient and well balanced ecosystems.
It is the only animal capable of keeping Australian wildlife healthy by keeping prey and pest species in check.
Unfortunately, like our Tasmanian tiger in our shameful past, he is being vilified and killed off by powerful rural and hunting lobbies that clasp an abundance of ignorance, cruelty and greed.
