@450hp202turbo Dark forms aren't really that rare in this part of Australia and who can say how pure any dingo is these days. These were smaller and thinner animals than any of the feral dogs one finds in this region and they regularly scavenge along the wrack at Ella Bay. You are correct as the darker dogs are often seen in rainforest habitats.
Good to see these guys. Are they often seen on the beach there. I feel the numbers of rain forest dingo is on the decline......encounters with feral pig dogs leading to the demise of many. A small family used to visit my place but I have not seen them for about five years now.
@dingodancer Sorry DD that it has taken so long to reply. If you want to see them here daybreak is always best. In the cool od themornings they scavenge along the beach. I think you are correct in as much as feral dogs put a fair bit of territorial pressure on smaller dingoes. Keep in mind that in this area feral dogs are often lost pig hunting dogs or their offspring and as such are large powerful dogs. Thanks for your comments!
@sebiiau thanks Seb I am rather fond of these guys. From an ecological point of view I beleive this small pack does way more good than harm.Keep wild pigs off beach area which is great for turtle nests too!
Thank you for this lovely video. The dingos are my brothers.
