Dingoes have never been regarded as wolves, but the ancestry of the dingo can now be traced back to the white-footed wolf of Southeast Asia. The scientific name of the dingo has recently been changed from Canis familiaris to Canis lupus dingo, meaning the dingo is a subspecies of "Canis lupus", or the Gray Wolf. The fact that it communicates over long distances with howls rather than barking is a trait belonging to wolves, rather than to domestic dogs with which it has long been associated.

Dingoes have evolved from the Indian wolf or the Arctic wolf and have been around for 6,000 to 10,000 years. They have evolved to have a large powerful head, large teeth, and flatter skulls.

No Dingoes are not related to hyenas. We think somewhere along the line they are descended from wolves. But they are their own subspecies like a fox or a coyote.
