Welcome Nicola. That's a sweet pic. Is the position on the map right? You can drag it around before saving.

Fun fact! Dingoes are the most dexterous of the canids, possessing unique wrists that are capable of rotation. This enables dingoes to use their paws like human hands and even turn doorknobs to break into homes in search of food.

Dingoes are numerous, but because they can and do mate with feral domestic dogs, it is estimated that more than a third of Australia's dingoes are hybrids.
