Dingo Party
Something fun, I recently learned that dingoes come in a variety of coat colors. While many people assume these different colors mean they’re crossbreeds, they’re actually all pure dingoes.
(Recent research suggests dingoes evolved from early domestic dogs that descended from wolves. Dingoes are genetically distinct from modern dogs in some ways, such as lacking starch digestion genes and having extra vertebrae that make them more flexible. They are still wild animals, having lived in Australia for thousands of years.
They could be seen as a kind of proto-dog or a pre-domesticated canine, representing an earlier stage of domestication. It's now believed that the domestication of canines was a natural symbiotic process between humans and wolves, where both species benefited from cooperation, rather than a process designed entirely by humans).

The fact I was listening to this song while viewing this is perfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUj1Wjs7Hdg
Wow that is so absolutely cool!! Do you have photos of your pack? :D I'm surprised to see so little dingo art in the furry community and I want to make more! They are really fascinating! I have prints for whoever is interested here: https://artofmaquenda.etsy.com/list.....oes-dogs-proto
Thank you for your kind words ;_;

I only have photos of one, a pup I saw after the 19-20 Black Summer fires. There are other photos of the packs in Brad Purcell's Dingo (great little scientific read) but it's hard to find.
They're really underappreciated, I should join you in waving the flag.
And you are always welcome, your art always brightens my inbox and gives me plenty to meditate on.
