Being a canine, the dingo has wolf-like characteristics. It is a carnivore that generally lives and hunts in packs.

Dingoes adapt by growing thick coats in cooler regions, and thinner coats in warmer regions of Australia.

Dingoes have also have a sandy-ginger to coat to blend in with their surroundings. they are difficult to see in some of Australia's semi-arid areas.

Instead of barking, Dingoes howl to communicate with other animals from farther distances.

Dingoes live in dens in caves and under cliff overhangs.

The dingo has better endurance in hot weather than most other members of the canine family. This is why it was included in the original ancestry of the Blue Heeler cattle dog.

Dingoes have an unusual ability in being able to turn their wrists, which is an adaptation for hunting. They can also turn their heads almost 360 degrees to track potential prey more easily and accurately. They can even subluxate (manipulate or partially dislocate) their hips to squeeze through the small entrances to burrows belonging to their prey.
