Beautiful pics and words, Gaz. I've thought for some time that it must have been because of co-evolution with the dingo, that kangaroos learned to enter dams and waterways when pursued - where they can hold down a dog's head under the water (I've seen this myself). Both beautiful animals which have evolved ways of surviving in this harsh landscape.
Outstanding photography! I love how the back lit dingoes are almost silhouettes and defined by the glowing edges of fur!!
We obviously do not have dingoes in the US, but they sound strikingly similar to the coyotes native to North America. I hear them often, but haven't been determined enough to try to photograph one.
I also thought of coyotes while reading this. We occasionally have coyotes in our neighbourhood since we live fairly close to a river valley. I’ve also seen them just outside of town since we’re surrounded by prairie. They’re much easier to spot in the winter when the grasses are covered in snow.
That's great! I'm in the southeast, so the natural areas are densely wooded. I hear them often, but never see them. The book Coyote America by Dan Flores is a fascinating read about them!
Thank you very much Erik. I’m sure coyotes and dingoes would be similar in many ways. Camera trapping may be your best option for photographing coyotes. If you ever consider giving it a go, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.
Beautiful photos and words, Gaz!
Thank you Lia!

Thank you Judith. That’s actually something I’ve never thought of and makes total sense!

I am curious. I have a game camera, but I don't think it has an image quality worth mentioning.
Google Camtraptions Erik. 😉
Haha! That sounds like a term that will give me results I shouldn't view at work! 😂
