Are dingoes simply wild dogs?

on

Published in Daily Trivia

Dingoes have features in common with both wolves and modern dogs, and are regarded as more or less unchanged descendants of an early ancestor of modern dogs. Adult dingoes are typically 19–23 inches tall at the shoulders, and weigh on average 50–70 pounds. Compared to similarly sized domestic dogs, dingoes have longer muzzles, longer canine teeth, and a flatter skull. Additionally, dingoes lack the same degree of tooth crowding and jaw-shortening that distinguish other dog breeds from wolves
