Adaptions
Behavioural Adaptations:
Dingoes usually take part in small packs/groups that contain up to twelve other family members. During the breeding season they join with other packs/groups to make one large group so that together they can hunt for bigger game and so that they can take care of the newborn pups.
Dingoes use their loud howl in order to defend their own territory and to ward off other predators. They also use it to warn their pack members and to send signals to them. Sometimes, they use their howl to help track a lost pup.
Structural Adaptations:
A dingoes has the ability to hear very well, which they use for signals from pack members, for hunting and in case an enemy approaches them. Through their ears and their paws, they lose body heat, because they cannot sweat elsewhere. Depending on where the dingo is located, their fur usually helps to camouflage them from predators. Their fur is also very short, which aids in body temperature when their location becomes quite hot.
Physiological Adaptations:
A female dingo only has the ability to produce offspring during March to June and only once a year. The reason for this could possibly be because it would be too difficult to take care of another litter of puppies, whether they have joined forces with other groups or not.
