Dingo Environment
Canis lupus dingo, the Dingo are Australia’s native dog, they were introduced into Australia about 4,000 years ago, its origin is traced back to the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus lupus). The Dingo is a very diverse animal due to it’s habitat locating from: forests, plains and mountainous areas in rural Australia. Their dens are predominantly contrived; in underground burrows, rabbit holes and in sticks, rotten tree logs are also an option. Their home preference is also mainly stationed near a water source.

They are essentially placed in woodlands, grasslands or mountainous rural areas with an adequate water supply such as; nearby streams, rivers, creeks or lakes. This is evident at Queensland's Ravensbourne national Park, located 32 km north of Toowoomba. Ravensbourne National Park is an environment with a biodiverse ecosystem due to an adequate source of water and wildlife. The rainforest also inhabits the contents of the dingoes diet consisting of carnivorous prey, such as; kangaroos, rabbits, wombats and wallabies. Conversely, desert regions, such as Central Australia are home to minimal amounts of dingo, as the population is very limited due to the lack of water and food. They are commonly found in the eastern half of Western Australia, South Australia and the most part of Northern …show more content…
This is important because it is a natural occurrence in the separate communities of Dingo. This important because without the Dingo the animals below it in the food chain would increase in population causing ecosystem complications including indiverse range of animals in the ecosystem.

    The western swamp tortoise is one of Australia’s most endangered reptiles. This is because of habitat clearance for things like agriculture, clay mining and other urban and industrial development; climate change (like the increase of aridity), foxes and other animals are hunting them, draining the swamps and inappropriate fire regimes. It doesn’t help that they have slow breeding, a certain diet and a very rare…

    Kangaroos natively live in Australia and New Guinea. As of 2016, the kangaroo population officially doubled the number of people in Australia (“Experts”).The Mascot Hall of Fame is now being built in Whiting, Indiana, and is meant to be a fun place for families and children ("Mascot Hall"). Even though some may argue that Zippy the Zip is not a mascot that should be inducted into the hall of fame because kangaroos do not natively live in Ohio, Zippy the Zip should be in The Mascot Hall of Fame because she impacts the sport, is kid-friendly, has ground-breaking performances, has done many things for her community, and has a fun and unique design.…

    The fault of the attack lies solely with the tourists on the Island. Many tourists on the island feed the dingos and over the years the dingoes have become less scared of because we are constantly around feeding them and taking photos. It people swim with shacks it’s their own fault if they get bitten so how is this any different? The increase in tourist numbers on the island has increased the number of houses and development sites on the island which means that humans are coming into contact with the dingoes more often. The destruction of their habitat also means that they are now relying on humans for food such as the scraps we throw out and they can set up home in our backyards, which means that during the colder months any warmth from our houses keeps them close. These animals have only a small amount of contact with humans, usually they are given food. What happens when they are near a group of people and expect food but they are chased away? If they were hungry enough they could attack the humans because they feel threatened and have no other way of finding food. Tourists think that because they are native animals they are cute and cuddly like koalas and wombats that are kept in zoos and taught not to attack humans. This species is unique and needs to be protected.…

    Red Kangaroos are marsupials which means that they have a pouch to carry their young. Red Kangaroos have a pear shaped body that has a small head with large back legs and short front legs. Their tails are very large. Their feet have five toes on the front but their back feet have four toes with two of the inner toes being fused. Their hind feet are powerful and they use those to defend themselves. Red Kangaroos have soft red to grey colored fur and are unique because they have white fur on their underparts. Due to their size, kangaroos do not have many predators but young babies not in the pouch can be preyed on by raptors and dingos. Unfortunately, humans are their biggest threat as they hunt them for their meat and…

    Secondly, I think Kangaroos shouldn’t be a part of our Australian diet because they are an Australian icon. As a native animal to Australia they represent our country. They are also a unique marsupial that is not native to any other countries and are perfectly adapted to Australia. Kangaroos, along with the other native animals also attract tourists to visit Australia. Kangaroo’s not only represent Australia by being a part of the Coat Of Arms but they also represent companies such as Qantas.…

    The impact of the environment condition of primate population has been well documented. Replacement of forest area by crops and soaring urbanization are often described as significant drivers to survival of wildlife populations, including non-human primates (Laurance et al. 2002). Given the rapidly of forest replacement, at present many primate species face the dramatic disturbance and fragmentation of their natural habitats (Cowlishaw and Dunbar 2000). At the same times, human activities in the forest have also damaged to an increased the probability of primate to share habitat with humans who interact and compete for space and resources (Isabirye‐Basuta and Lwanga 2008). Most primate species are threatened and avoiding live with human, while…

    Geology instructor Roger Chambers went on to ask: "What's your favorite Marsupial?" to break the ice and show how little we, the audience, actually knew about them. I personally was not aware that Australia was a devastated ecosystem built around them. He, like many experts believes that it was unlikely that they got to Australia via swimming from Asia. What he did believe was that they migrated throughout one the world's super-continents of the past Gondwana approximately 200 million years ago. The time of the giant birds…
