I’m proud of this work! The term “wild dog” propagates the myth that dingoes are gone. They aren’t, we are just killing them. One in four of the animals we DNA tested were pure dingoes.
"Wild dog" is a euphemism for dingo. Ancestry analysis on 783 dingoes from NSW led by @kyliecairns shows that less than 1% of animals were feral dogs and that most animal's genomes were at least 75% dingo. One in four animals were "pure" dingoes. doi/10.1007/s10592-019-01230-z

A W2 tram lives on at Wattle Park. The Melbourne equivalent of London’s Routemaster bus. #PublicTransportIcons
Wattle Park. The Lone Pine, descended from a Turkish tree that stood at Gallipoli. Currently it is not lonely. The little pine in front has been planted to take over eventually as the older one starts to decline.
