Dingoes are Australia’s only native canid. They're naturally lean, weighing between 13kg and 18kg and standing about 60cm tall. Dingoes descend from Asian canids. Research into their origin and the timing of their arrival is ongoing. Recent analysis of the genetics of both the Dingo and the closely related New Guinea Singing Dog provides evidence that they arrived in Oceania at least 8,300 years ago. Regardless of the exact timing of their arrival, Dingoes are considered native to Australia.
