DINGO • The dingo is a carnivore. Dingos resemble domestic dogs although dingos have flatter, larger skulls, larger canine teeth and narrower noses. Most dingos are yellow in colour but some are ginger-brown and others are black. The dingo has a bushy tail and large pointed ears, which are held erect. The mother dingo has her pups in a den. This could be in a small cave or a hollow log Dingo word ladder 1 s Answers 1 s h e e 2 p o i n t e 3 d 2 p 3 d e 4 c a 5 r n i v o r e Preparation • Collect pictures of dingoes.

Dingo pups drink their mother’s milk until they are about four months old then their mother forages for food for them for another month, when they will leave the den to hunt for themselves. Older brothers and sisters in the pack help the parents to rear the young pups, guarding them and coaching them to hunt. On hot days, dingos shelter in caves and under shady trees. A dingo will hunt alone for small prey such as rats, rabbits, reptiles and birds. Dingos hunt in packs for larger prey such as kangaroos, cattle and sheep. In some places in Australia, special fences are built to prevent dingos from hunting sheep. Dingos howl at night to keep contact with their pack. • After the information has been discussed, copy the word ladder below onto a large sheet of paper and complete it with the help of the class. ©R.I.C.
