Ella Bay Dingoes

Footage from http://ellabayforever.blogspot.com/ of 3 rainforest dingoes (Dark form) hunting for their breakfast along Ella Bay in Far North Queensland, Australia. It was a pleasure to film these dingoes that outwardly appear to be very pure unlike many of the crossbreed wild dogs I regularly see. The isolated nature of this wilderness location has probably reduced out crossing with domestic dogs. Yet another reason why this area should remain as a wilderness habitat.4 more info visit http://ellabayforever.blogspot.com/
Ella Bay is home to coastal humpback dolphins and Australian snubfin dolphins. It is also home to green and flatback turtles,endangered frogs and the endangered southern cassowary. It is an area under threat as property developer Satori propose to build a massive urban development and multiple resorts. a population of 5000 people has been proposed for this beautiful and fragile place.

@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!

Pretty cool Russ. Don't often get a good look at these guys!
