Hi all
Here are a heap of photos that I haven’t shared before of a young male that roams the hillsides alone.
He is such a nice dingo 😍
Young males or lower-ranking dingoes are often kicked out of their packs or choose to leave.
Because they are alone, solitary dingoes usually hunt smaller prey like rabbits, rodents, and lizards. They avoid large kangaroos, which require a full pack to hunt safely but in saying that I have watched this younger male chase many a kangaroo..
One day whilst sitting and watching this dingo I was amazed at what happened. I will try to explain it best I can 🤪
I was sitting and watching the young male dingo in this post who also was sitting ( he was lying down actually). There was a mob of kangaroos not too far away. Two of the young male roos where play fighting and grunting like the do. The dingo hearing all of this and having heard all of this before was almost asleep. A very young Joey was out of mums pouch and jumping around also ( so cute ).
The two male roos were carrying on making their grunting sounds when the mother kangaroo decided that her joey was getting a little too carried away bouncing around and a little too far away. Mum called her joey with such a quiet little knicker and WOW. The dingo knows that sound and knows what that sound means. The dingo was up and off in a flash. “ Holy cow” look at him go. He was off after the roos / joey 100 miles per hour and they went up and over the hill and gone. I didn’t see what came of the chase but the dingo knew!! There is no doubt in my mind that dingo knew exactly what that little knicker from mum meant. It meant Joey was out and about and WOW.
Such smart intelligent animals they are
They never cease to amaze me.
All images in this post are of the same young male dingo. Isn’t he lovely 😍
Thanks guys
