Dingo: The King of Australia 

Maxim M. RIGHT!? I’m so confused! I thought it would be a crock or a snake.

Oshe Shango We’re talking about how dingoes LOOK. We thought the king of Australia would be something that LOOKS scary or tough looking. Not something that looks like you can keep in your house, around kids, giving kisses to it, loving it like you would to to a domestic dog.

Peter Frencken Your right! These cute little dingoes can be very, very, very dangerous if your not careful. One wrong move and your on their plate.

IDK, It’s random content! Ya salt water crocs are also apex predators. But crocs are only found in the northern most points of Queensland and Northern Territory

@Peter Frencken Like IDK, it's random content explained I do not want to be disrespectful or anything, but as someone who only heard about frightening looking animals that habitat Australia I was just not expecting this.

Yamper

Those already exist and they are called Akita Inu.

@@jean-philippeforgues-morai235 Then dingos are the evolution of akita inu

@@scobrallon9948 Ah yes, the classic 3 stage evolution.

@@jean-philippeforgues-morai235 actually dingos, papuan singing dogs, akitas, shiba inus, and chow chows are all related

True

So literally just a Shiba Inu

bruhhhhhh i just realized that

Nah it’s a shiba but they are aggressive

@@elijahjohnson5872 or akita inu, shiba is smaller

@No. Body There's a rare occurance during a bushfire, where a tornado sucks up flammable material and transforms into a blazing maelstrom of flames :D Look it up, its wild

Lol you can easily overpower these guys lol even rotweiller can bully them Sorry if this was a joke tho,I just wanted to point that out

@@NguyenQuang-tm3ou But in a pack? A single human versus a pack of dingoes isn't such easy math. Especially if the human is unarmed. But I might still try to pet them, because I look at them, see doggos, and want to pet them.

Dingos are so maligned. If you were to threaten or corner a female protecting her pups, yes you will certainly be the focus of aggressive protective behaviours. Generally Dingos behaviour has been impacted and altered by humans. They are very weary, hyper-vigelent and will avoid contact as much possible. My dingo pup is 10 months and assimilation I has required the most work aside from recall (return on command)

@@NguyenQuang-tm3ou lol 😝 ok champ !!! How many Rottweilers have you seen over power a dingo ?!?

ajoajoajoaj dude we can own them if we get a permit soooo yeah

@@philltime7873 I'm probably going to move to australia don't care about spiders and stuff that can kill me I just want a pet doge

Venice: Il Doge.

@@groupoftrouts7748 In Australia you want to stay out of any water that you don't fully know. Crocs and box jellies are extremely dangerous.

@@groupoftrouts7748 I had a pet dingo, it was mixed with staffy breed. Very nice, well behaved, and athletic

Wasn’t that New Zealand?

CROCY

Apparently you are

The ibis: *look here you little-*

@@robertbektas1810 no its Australia. NZ has Moa which is now extinct due to over hunting.

I'm pretty sure if it isn't considered a cornerstone species it should be

How could it not be native and what makes them think it isn't? Has a dingo or fossil of dingoes been found in anywhere else in the world? No? So why do they think they aren't native to Australia? What makes them think that? Or was it just a random comment somebody made and everybody went with? Supposedly they aren't desendants of Dogs, they aren't even related to Wolves, they are own their specific species. They and their fossils aren't found anywhere else in the world. Yet for some reason there is an idea the continent they are on right now isn't their native continent. Why? What makes them come to that conlclusion? Do they have a single reason at all? Or was it just a random comment?

But where else are dingo fossils found?

@@mzseef PNG

@@mzseefno where

lol nature is weird

Australian nature is especially weird. Witness the adorable duck-billed platypus, with the venomous spurs on its hind legs. "...the venom is not lethal to humans, but the pain is so excruciating that the victim may be incapacitated." Awwww.... :)

The saltwater crocodile is the top/apex predator of Australia

We don’t have tarantulas here, we have the funnel web spider. We also have box jellyfish which are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet. We also have these these things called irikanji jellyfish which are hell bad too, and where I’m from in Perth has some of the highest rates of great white shark attacks

Meanwhile, Dingodile is enjoying himself with a Barbeque.

@Xavier O’brien this is not true at all yes they live in the north of country but can live hours inland and in any type of water

DistractedDingo those stupid crocs can end your dingo with just one single bite lol

Huy Tran stupid crocs hardly harras or catch roos.

crocs are only kings of sea coastlines and lakes, since they rely on being invisible in water

They kinda look like a Shiba Inu

You'd think that until you see them open their jaws

@@BishhImFlamin0 WOOAAHHH wait a minute what do you mean by that do they got like 60000 rows of shark teeth or something

Cause they were at one point

That's because they are dogs. Fossil records suggest that they split from domestic dogs some 3-4 millennia ago.

@Baldhina Asnake dogs are supposed to go on raw diets like raw meat anyways so it applies to both

Baldhina Asnake There’re actual studies that show that raw diets pose significant risks that the exact same meal but cooked does not. The reason why raw is better than commercial dog food is because commercial dog food is terrible.

Baldhina Asnake Cooked is better than raw, studies conclusively show this. Both homemade cooked and raw dog foods are leagues ahead of the average commercial dog food.

That's terrifying, imagine something more dangerous than a guard dog and you can't even hear it if you tried to break in

They do bark, but it's typically to alert the pack of imminent danger. It's like a _"HEY! Watch out!"_ in Dingo-speak.

@Jefferson Villatoro Osorio how does that make a difference?

@@johnsilcox321 because they arn't fully equipped for terrestrial life, they are more aquatic.

what I was thinking, although it looks more like an akita

Shibas/Akitas and other Japenese hunting breeds tend toward the "primitive dog" style. You see this even with prominent feral dog populations- American Dingo (they're not dingoes despite the name), village dogs, etc. The body plan just works. That's probably why Dingoes have it too- it just works really well.

Lauren key word “Looks”

Well, it is a wolf-like body plan...

@@someoneidk308 Yep. My Podengo is a primitive breed, and ha follows close to that. I actually had someone ask me if he was a dingo once.

It was doing you a favor, and keeping you from being woken up early by roosters!

What is a "Digo"

Anonymous yeah! It should be a Dogo

@@regulardudedoingregularstu1046 dogo argentino?

Did everyone in the neighborhood cooked their chickens afterward?

North America: Wolves

England's apex predator is the badger 😂

@@JJones-oi3jc honey badger?

Yeah, we also have 25 foot long crocodiles lol

Wolves can kill any other land predator

Worst days? Should b Considered a Great Day bcause Animals Should b Allowed to Roam Free

​@@DannyUrena-oj9rm dingos are dangerous like wolves. Can you be less ignorant

@@DannyUrena-oj9rm yep humans are animals too. Same freedom instincts. That's why it sucked to be locked up. Man school was the worst haha

It's one of those Game of Thrones scenarios where there's a bunch of kings duking it out.

Come on they won against the Australian military

But am I the only one who sees Shebos in Dingos

@@animalogic Omg XD dont listen Diotama!

Lol!

😂😂😂😂😂

While the lions become buffalo sized and flaming, because africa

@@somagb1 and squirrels become dingo because British

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You know what did Dingo eat?

Babies?

I just give my pet dingo normal dog food

Fark ya onabout cun?

Haha I did the same ! And I also come to see what they said about the dingo 🤣🤣🤣 it’s been interesting that’s for sure !!

3:53 Balanced as all things should be.

also humans: we don't do that here

It is NOT a dog wrong bone structure dude.

They might have super sticky paws, but don't quote us on that.

Animalogic I’ll look into it. I’m going to ask as many researchers as I can.

plus, they chase rabbits on the wrong side of the bush, I bet

Continental Divide, look it up.

Animalogic ‘they might have super sticky paws’ - Animalogic

You brought back a memory I didn’t even know I had

I thought I was the only one who noticed

Me too

They straight up ignored the “Perfectly” part.

That have dingo bloodlines but they're not a dingo

They belong to the wild, I'm glad to see that they survived and of course they are useful for the ecosystem

Cuddles with the outback critters must now be on the list

Shut up

@@natturn-her5050 ......

For real I'm so jealous.

yup...she doubled..

Ikr!

They eat babies! So cute.

Grannvale Flame Emperor kinda does make it less adorable when you watch it tear out a kids heart and eats their leg, but I guess we disagree.

They both descend from the Asian Wolf, which many other domestic dogs have as well. Surprisingly not too many descend from Gray Wolves

@@thechocolatedonut7216 and so do dogs, wolves, and other animals, what’s your point

Our last dog, Rocky was part Dingo. Dingo/Shepherd mix and lived to 15, which is great for a medium dog...And a dog who couldn't break down protein on his own, lol. Did yours have the same colouring?

Sorry to hear that, Joseph. I had a blue healer as a kid ... an Australian Cattle Dog ... she was 13 when she died. Blue Healers (and red) have dingo in the breed.

Mine was a pure mutt, lost him 5 years ago when he ran off with a female. Forgot to castrate him.

@@dirandrous7682 i find this hilarious... Cause my cat did the same years ago 😅😂

I remember my ex decided to get a DNA test on my Cattle Dog Archie (hers at the time) as his behaviors and body structure resembled more of a Dingo than a standard Cattle Dog (only his coat is standard). Turned being nearly 40% of not only Dingo but Alpine Dingo; obviously all Cattle Dogs have Dingo in them but his blood is substantial. He climbs trees, can rotate his head 180°, does a weird bark-howl-yodel and is aggressive...very aggressive. I actually don’t take him to dog parks anymore as he’s been in a few scraps and is what I consider to be dangerous. He’s also highly territorial; when it comes to hoofed animals, unlike other Heelers who will try to herd them, he actively preys on them, nearly catching a deer one time. I love him to death, he’s incredibly attached to me but because of most of his traits being more wild than a standard domestic dog, I have to keep an eye on him

@@MomeGnome yeah she did

@@maxpoggerman7396 actually she didn't all it takes is a quick Google search and many articles will tell you dingos are also a reason why the fence is still up.

​@@jameswalton4518 "was" indicates that in the past when the fence was built it was for rabbits, but later it's useful purpose is for stopping dingoes. Re read it again mhm

Can't bark and climes trees so like a cat?

I need to search this one..... thanks Sai alfonso

Iirc they are thought to be related

theyre considered to be same subspecies

The two land masses were connected during the last ice age.

Carolina Dogs are pariah dogs. Their outward similarity with the Australian Dingo is the result of convergent evolution.

Agreed

The real sonic character we need gotta go fast on water.

You mean the frilled lizard? That's also a kind of basilisk

I have a pet basilisk

An undeserved name.

Yeah, Shiba Inu becomes apex predator, and Mittens the Kitten wreaks genocide across the land. Useless marsupials.

WTF!!!!!! lol!!!! Lmao!!!!!!

I don't wanna know what either one of you are talking about, cause I wanna laugh okay

🤣🤣🤣

They are related to the kelpie, apparently lol...

My husband and I have an Australian Cattle dog. You r right. So bloody smart.

@@KDSima I rescued 2 that were not well cared for. Just getting them well fed & healthy was the first priority. They are so smart & loving to my husband & I...but not very welcoming to strangers 😧

@@lafamilledegrace5442 U are so right. Our dog, Odin, does not get along w/our two cats they were here b4 he was. It could b bc he constantly tries to heard them🤷‍♀️.

I have one and she’s so smart and protective. They’re natural guard dogs. I’ve always talked to her as I would to a kid and she understands me.

Their actually related to New Guinea singing dog

@shroomboy I don't blame it, it probably knows the horrible truth about pugs...

@@cintronproductions9430 I would certainly be scared of horribly inbred minature humans with breathing problems and easily detached and lost eyes.

Or maybe more of whoever forced them into that state..

You forgot African wild dogs and hyenas

Painted dogs anyone?

Alright friend i love your comments. How are you doing. is me Tom hardy. UK actor . Nice to meet you where are you from❤

So cute❤️

Uhhh what? There are no snakes in Ireland.

As far as things go here in Aus, they're newbies, lol, but they're more native than feral cats and pigs are, that's for sure.

@George Dunn Pretty sure the people aren't native either from a scientific perspective.

@@reecerobin8413 Aboriginal people have lived in Australia for at least 80,000 years, and there is evidence that suggests even longer, so I think that qualifies being native

@George Dunn There is no joke. The Australian aboriginals technically evolved there too, after migrating from Africa.

@@tallulah7243 80,000 would be the upper limit of when they arrived the least/latest would be by 45,000 years, but the consensus puts their arrival at about 60,000 to 55,000 years.

The thylacine was only extant in Tasmania at the time of European arrival in Australia. The Dingo was still the apex terrestrial predator over all of the Australian mainland for thousands of years.

The dingo is largely to blame for the thylacine’s extinction on the mainland. It earned its rightful spot as apex predator.

“But now we want to murder or fence them too to protect our ranching”

Dingoes drove thylacines to extinction on the mainland. Thylacines survived on Tasmania where there weren’t/aren’t any dingoes. White man arrived and killed the remaining population off.

Lol ark? Idk small dire wolf i havent played in over a year (mobile sadly)

I think there passive tames with cooked prime meat

I mean 4000 years kind of makes them native

Is that the same thing as the 'kelpie'?

I have an Australian Cattle Dog who I adopted 8 years ago next month. He was about 8 or 9 months at the time. He’s the smartest dog I’ve ever had. Great instincts and the best watch dog ever. His name is Cowboy! Cowboy the Cattle Dog! 😊

Austin Kucharski But dingos aren't native to Australia, so are they REALLY kings....

yeah i think they probably descend from a wolf-like canid from south-east asia, and if they were brought here by humans it was most likely merchants from malaysia.

There's a similar wild dog that lives in Papua New Guinea. It's called the New Guinea singing dog and is closely related to the Dingo.

@@diva3713 Aboriginals brought them to Australia

@@MrWackozacko yeah i thought so. but the indigenous australians arrived in australia farrr before any evidence of dingos

It was humans. Dingoes are not unique to Australia, they can also be found in south east Asia. And are though to have arrived from aboriginals bringing them here.

Not by definition of the word native,

native means a species evolved & developed in the same environment for long times. Dingos didn't evolve in Australia rather they came from outside, adapted in & thrived there. If they were to be native species they would be a marsupial predator likewise all native Australian animals.

@@devashisdas5024 Yeah, and it’s a shame one of the only marsupial predators was hunted to extinct since it was inaccurately accused of killing livestock which feral dogs did.

@@devashisdas5024 Not really true. Bats and rodents are not marsupials but there are plenty of native bats and rodents here.

@@greathornedowl1783 Australia has a marsupial rat too. And Bats are found in almost every other continent except for Antarctica because of their longer flying capacity & having super immunity against diseases & also having simbiotic relations with disease carrying germs. Not necessarily means that bats were native but indicates that bats spread throughout migration in Australia. Apart from the marsupial rat of Australia, the common house rats & other rodents introduced by European colonizers are now causing havoc to Australian crops & made a disaster in few months earlier.

Is that mutually exclusive?

Not sure what you mean here, Dingoes aren't native even if they've been there for over 3,000 years

dogs are not native to America, but they are here since the first humans arrived thousands of years ago, unfortunately there pre-colombian dog breeds were practically extinct

Well I mean they replaced the thylacine on the mainland and have become naturalised as the top order predator so they're pretty much native.

@@MomeGnome 3,001 years

they even aint wild dogs bro

Spotted wild dogs aren’t even dogs. Despite that, my favorite dog is the spotted wild dogs. Unfortunately, my family don’t think them as cute.
