C. Dingo.
The Australian Native Dog or Dingo inhabits almost every part of Australia, and interbreeds freely with the domestic dog. In the more settled districts this destructive animal has been nearly exterminated. Dingos occur of almost any color,—black and tan, tan spotted with white or pure tan, and yellowish. In Tasmania no Dingos have been observed by the first settlers, nor have fossil remains of dogs been found there.
