Image # A58-148; I captured this image of an Australian wild dog (Dingo) while visiting the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. It is believed to have been introduced thousands of years ago by the aboriginal settlers of that continent. It stands about 24 in. high at the shoulder and has large, erect ears, a wolf like head, and rather long legs. The dingo mates once a year and has a litter of up to eight pups. In the wild state it howls rather than barks, and usually travels in small groups. It has often been kept as a pet by the natives and used by them in hunting.
