Dingoes

Ability to tame a wolf is completely based on the wolf's personality. This is how the first domestic breeds were created: people kept baby wolves and foxes as house pets, and eventually the domestic breeds were created. Studies have been ongoing in Austria for many years in which they try to tame the silvertail fox. They have to find a fox that is not as aggressive, and they are able to tame it. They have found that as they breeded those foxes with other tame foxes, the only difference between them and other foxes being their personality and aggressiveness, the newer generation of foxes had blatant differences in physical appearance, such as their whole coat becoming white.

Desert, which is what Australia is mostly.

People regard dingoes as pests, and farmers fear that dingoes will kill their livestock, so the dingo is often hunted by man. Also, purebred (or "dinkum") dingoes are in danger of dying out because a great deal of inter-breeding has gone on between dingoes and feral dogs. However, the dingo is not endangered. Its conservation status is listed as "vulnerable".

This is likely to be a "mis-heard" version of the insult "dingle berry" which is also referenced on answer.com. A "dingle berry" is a small wad of animal waste which gets caught in, and dangles from, the hair or fur around the anus of an animal or human.

it all depends!! 85 us the average.

A dingo is a free-range dog that lives in Australia mainly. It eats livestock, kangaroos, wallaby, rabbits, and other small rodents.

The letters spell the 3 letter words nog and nor. They spell the 2 letter words go, no, on and or. Some scrabble dictionaries also will accept rong meaning to form a ring around.

How long will the shell of a gunite pool last?

There are lots of pools made with gunite or shotcrete that are 50+ years old. As there are many inground pools of all types built in the 1970's still full of family fun times. With first finishes, and equipment 30 years old. I often for example see old heaters still working that were built in the early 1970's. Sure there are much more efficent units today.

Who would think of taking that 1963 Chevy for a spin to work everyday,or even with the family on vacation? A great show piece but no safety glass, no airbags, 8 mpg,drum brakes,no crumple zones and plenty of emmissions, without headrests, and only a lapbelt to keep safe.

Pools can be refinished just like any other item of your home. Your finish, underground plumbing, and other parts of your pool are going to last longer today then days of old, simply because many products are built better. A good example are the additives of todays Concrete being one of them.

Your preventitive maintenance is going to play a big part of how long something is going to last as you well know, as is the quality of the product, what your willing to pay for quality will have an effect. Look far past the price as usual.

Ask your pool professional he can show you many new high quality swimming pool products, along with energy efficent equipment and meet a varity of budgets.

Here is an interesting example of high tech pool equipment, did you know there is now a new pump for your residential pool, that is so energy efficent compared to past available models it will save owners in high cost electric areas like the west coast $100.00 or more per month guaranteed from the largest mfgr in the industry.

You can't still buy that new 1963 Chevy, but you can still buy a new pool heater for example built exactly the same as it was in 1963 and that's a real fact. You saved up front and the family will be disappointed when they have to swim in their long underware cause you cant afford the heat tab.

See your pro pool dealer for the good stuff.

they start as a pup to a teen then to a full adult dingo

No, dingoes are very kind to human beings. A lot of Australian tribes even keep them as pets. They would rather prefer eating kangaroos or rabbits as a meal. Although "a dingo ate your baby!" is funny, it has yet to be actually proven.

There have been cases where dingos have picked up babies and there was a recorded case where a wild dog attacked a 9 year old boy who sustained injuries he later died from.

Also, in the famous case of "A dingo ate my baby" clothing worn by the baby in mention was find near a dingo lair, and the individuals imprisoned for the death of the baby were released.

It is quite possible for a dingo to take a child and to cause injuries that could cause death, but it's arguable as to whether there is any more or less risk as you would have with any other dog.

very carefully

Australia's only wild dog is the dingo. The dingo is not truly native, as it did not originate on the continent like the hundreds of marsupial species did, but it has been in Australia for thousands of years. It was originally brought with the Aboriginal people between 4000 and 6000 years ago, and has come to be regarded as a native Australian animal. it is Australia's largest native carnivorous mammal.

Cats were probably not so much introduced, but more likely they escaped from ships. It was common practice to keep cats on ships to keep the rodents under control, so they most likely arrived with the First Fleet. However, it is also highly probable that some of the early settlers also brought cats with them for the same reason or as pets.

There is evidence to suggest that domestic cats arrived in Australia long before the First Fleet. It would appear that the Macassan traders who sought trepang (sea slugs) off Australia's northern coast some 500 years before the First Fleet had ships' cats, some of which stayed behind in Australia when the ships moved on. Naturally, these cats turned feral once they had to fend for themselves, and with no natural predators in Australia, their population proliferated rather well.

Dingoes are wild dogs that live in many parts of Australia. An accurate count is difficult, as many feral domestic dogs live in the same areas and interbreed with the dingoes. Dingoes are listed as vulnerable, but not endangered. However, some estimates say there are only a few hundred pure dingoes left, while others say there are tens of thousands of them.

It depends upon what you understand by the term "desert". Dingoes do not live in sandy deserts. They live almost everywhere, including semi-arid areas of Australia, where spinifex grass or scrubland is plentiful, and where there is a permanent water supply, even if they have to dig to reach it. Where there is any type of vegetation, there is also animal life. Dingoes are opportunistic feeders, eating any prey that is available, and also carrion. They have a short coat with an undercoat that protects them from both the daytime desert heat and the night-time desert cold. They tend to live in areas where there are rocks and caves for shelter.

Cats came on ships with the First Fleet- most ships had at least one cat for rat suppression. Also, some cats escaped from shipwrecks (it's though Dutch ships lost off the western coast allowed cats to spread before white settlement). Also, many pet cats escaped and became feral (wild).
