definition: A dingo is a kind of wild dog found only in Australia. Dingoes have long legs, pointed ears, and yellowish-brown or reddish-brown fur.
Dingoes naturally hunt small mammals, but they learned to hunt bigger animals like sheep and cattle when these animals were brought to Australia from Europe a few centuries ago.
