Dingos are timid, independent, and unpredictable, making them more like cats than domestic dogs. The dingos arrived in Australia by boat with south Asian sailors 5000 years ago, according to scientific data. Along with being hunted and murdered by farmers to defend their fields, interbreeding with domestic and wild animals has become a threat to these species. With your Healesville Animal Sanctuary tickets, you get an opportunity to get up up and personal with these incredible animals in the Dingo region.
