Did you know that the Australian Dingo is facing extinction? It doesn't look real good for them, we in Australia condone the extermination of our top land predator, the dingo, our own "lion king" which holds all things in balance.
Due to its habit of attacking livestock and the vulnerability of sheep, dingoes and other wild dogs are seen as a pest by the sheep industry and the resulting control methods normally run counter with efforts of conserving the Dingo.
I saw this wild red dog and his mate at the Hunter Valley zoo and although in a very pre-carious position managed to get a couple of shots blurring out the wire in the background. Have a great day. ~Pat and Graham
