In Real Life
The Dingo is a species of dog endemic to Australia. It has an ancient basal lineage dating back to around 3,500 years ago. They are considered a "form " of the domestic dog and as such, does not warrant certification as a subspecies or a fully separate species.
It is a medium sized canid with a lean, sturdy body built for speed, agility, and stamina. There are three main coat colorations; light ginger or tan, black and tan, and cream white. The skull is wedge-shaped and appears large in proportion to the body. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the closest genetic relative is the New Guinea Singing Dog.

Trivia
- It has multiple Latin names, including Canis familiaris, Canis familiaris dingo, Canis dingo and Canis lupus dingo.
- The earliest and oldest Dingo remains date to about 3,450 years ago (Found in Western Austraila)
- The lineage for the Dingo and New Guinea Singing Dog split early from the lineage that led to today's domestic dogs, thus making them very distant relatives.
- Dingo attacks on humans are rare in Australia, and when they do occur are generally on young children. One of the most well-known inceident was the Death of Azaria Chamberlain. A nine-week-old Australian girl was taken and killed by a dingo on the night of the 17 August 1980 during a family camping trip to Uluru in the Northern Territory. Her parents were imprisoned for the girl's death due to a lack of evidence showing it was dingo attack. The mother was tried for murder and was released only after Azaria's jacket was found near a dingo lair and new inquests were opened, after serving three years of jail time. In 2012, 32 years after Azaria's death, the Chamberlains' version of events was officially supported by a coroner.
The case became a huge media sensation and swayed the public opinions against Azaria Chamberlain's parents. The phrase, "A dingo ate my baby" or "A dingo took my baby", has become pop culture references. The incident has made into books, TV series and a feature film.
