Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What is the name of the native wild dog of Australia? "
...
The dingo is Australia's wild dog. It was probably introduced to Australia by Asian seafarers about 4,000 years ago. Its origins have been traced back to a south Asian variety of Grey Wolf. Recent DNA studies suggest that dingoes may have been in Australia even longer (between 4,640—18,100 years), however, the earliest undisputed archaeological finding of the dingo in Australia has been dated to 3,500 years ago.
Its appearance with a relatively broad head and erect ears, makes the dingo Australia's largest mammal carnivore. With canine teeth longer than those of a domestic dog, the dingo's muzzle is also longer and tapered.
Having been in Australia for over 4,000 years, dingoes inhabited many parts of mainland Australia. After European colonisation and the growth of pastoralisation, there was a concerted effort to remove dingoes from farming areas. As a result, dingoes are mostly absent from many parts of New South Wales, Victoria, the south-eastern third of South Australia and from the southern-most tip of Western Australia.
The name "dingo" is also used to describe wild dogs of Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and New Guinea.
