👋 A clarification on 00:55 - Wild dingoes and your pet ‘blue heeler’ are different - particularly in behaviour - but their genetics are much closer than we indicate here. Since European contact dingoes have crossbred with other dog breeds to form hybrids and some historical reports suggests the Aussie blue heeler might actually be one of them. If we take a look at the dingo ‘family tree’, genomic studies have revealed their origins can be traced to ancient breeds of domesticated dogs in Asia. They are much closer to domestic dogs than wolves genetically speaking. But as they’re largely free-living animals, don’t expect dingoes to behave like your typical canine companion.

@jeffreylewis2737 Год назад

@@gregmcb5305 My understanding is that the geneome sequencing for all dogs and wolves is incomplete. That is: there are significant gaps between various connections eg the grey wolf and the domestic dog> Which particular type of grey wlf gave rise to the domestic dog? Is that particular greay wolf extinct? The dingo is the same. I'm sorry: I find the conclusions you draw are only speculations...

@LittleStar261 2 года назад

There is a case where dingos actually did carry off a baby. The mom insisted that dingos took her baby but law enforcement accused her instead. The mom was convicted, served prison time and afterward a hiker discovered a baby blanket in a dingo den. It matched the missing baby's blanket. Further investigation showed that dingos had taken the baby.

I love dingos Rest in peace Stub

In some areas of Australia, you can legally own a dingo and in some other areas, no.

@garynaccarato4606 Год назад

I would probably say that a dingo is sort of roughly the size of something like a coyote and while it's not they're not that dangerous by themselves because of there limited size they can be sometimes be aggressive and they do attack in packs they are not something which actually kills a lot of people.A common domestic dog particularly if its fairly large is definitely far more likely to kill somebody then what dingos are.

@mmedefarge 3 года назад

My first dog was a Dingo-Spitz hybrid. A friend of the family was a captain of a freighter. He took her on board the ship with him but it didn't work out. We adopted her but NYC was no place for a Dingo mix. Skippy was always high-strung and very protective of the family, but aggressive with everyone else. Skip really behaved more Dingo-like than dog. She wound up biting too many visitors and had to be euthanized at age 10. Poor Skippy, she should have never been taken from her true home. She would have been much better served if she'd be allowed to stay in the Outback.

@d.truett9980 3 года назад

So, I've seen some Ann Jones videos before: really enjoyable. That said, two things Jones says in this video are questionable: 1) Dingoes are the only canines that can look over their shoulder. I haven't studied wolves, but I've raised a LOT of dogs, and...even the latest one currently looks over his shoulder at me -- usually when looking out a window, I talk too much about him. He has a "look of reproval" that is devastating. 2). I've ALSO seen a lot of my dogs use "tools" -- without persusasion -- but always for fun and games. The current, "look of reproval", dog likes to pick up one toy so that he can bat (or kind of play golf with) another toy, usually a ball. He also uses tools to play games: he uses a blanket to play hide and seek with himself, when we are too busy, "hiding" the ball and then uncovering it. I suppose it one is hindered by "bloke society" definitions and thinking (tools are ONLY for work or "problem solving") THEN one might think Ann Jones is correct. But she isn't.

@DanDownunda8888 Год назад

Ann didn't really do the dingoes head twisting justice. A dingo could put its 'chin' on its spine. Have a look at this at 2:06 into the vid.

The caparison of bites vs mauling was nice to hear.

@lellamas2778 Год назад

9 years old (1988) - family bought a piece of acreage - 3 acres - dryish forested land near Tambourine Mountain near the Gold Coast Australia. No house - but we'd go down and spend the weekend camping. One day - a strange small dogo came to visit. It actually looked just like a dingo - but it was friendly. We kept it and took it back to Brisbane. He became my best friend. We'd go everywhere together. After a year or so - He became a bit aggressive to people he didn't know - nipping at strangers - and my parents had to get rid of him (which REALLY upset me at the time).

@Lady8D 3 года назад

Wait, what was the tool the dingo used to get out? It's mouth? Honestly asking. My family has had a lot of german shepherds and a couple of em over the years were extremely smart! My mom had to start using padlocks on the dog run & kennel bc one of em learned to open ever other type of latch/locking mechanism we tried, crazy smart dog! Then I had an unrelated GS in a different household when I became an adult, this dog would literally watch our every move to figure out how the gates, etc worked and as soon as we turn our back she'd go try to mimic what we'd done, 9/10x successfully I sure do miss those pups!

Dingos are not Australian wild dogs. They're dingos. In fact 2 whole weeks before you decided to publish this, the CSIRO journal Australian Mammalogy published a study that pushed that very point and demonstrated it through the largest genetic survey of wild canids in Australian history. Some 5039 samples. Dingos are dingos, not wild dogs. They share a common ancestor with grey wolfs from the Pleistocene but aren't descent nor a subspecies. They're more like a cousin. Dingo populations do not breed that regularly with wild dogs. The majority are 100% pure dingo. They're more likely to out complete or outright attack wild dogs (and thus naturally keeping their numbers down, less than 1% of all wild canids) than they are to breed with them.. Play and prey are not thin walls. What kind of unscientific nonsense is that statement. Just because rough housing can lead to injury doesn't mean you're being hunted. Please stop spreading misinformation ABC Science, you should know better. Instead of getting a presenter to read a script filled with nonsense, interview people who actually know what they're talking about.

It's probably not appropriate to directly compare numbers of injuries from domestic dogs and dingoes to prove the risk from dingoes is lower, because that comparison ignored the chance of encounter.

had a 70% cross as probably my first dog was smart fast active and friendly to me my friends and most animals, but was also fast active and hostile to anyone creeping about aggressive to me or in anyway threatening to him. Wild dingo generally shy and no threat. but are intelligent and curious, you shouldnt feed wild ones can be friendly even when wild but they arnt, they are cunning will take an opportunity from you if it works for them or against you, anything they can get away with they will. they arnt overly big, dont have overly sized teeth but they are strong fast and those teeth are pin point sharp, also even if you see one or maybe even two you can be sure there are at least a few more watching

You call this and example of science?? No accounting for proportional skew?? Less dingo maullings are NOT a measure of their aggressiveness.

Many of these shown are hybrids, if subspecies are considered to hybridise with other breeds of their own species..
