Given the big surprise I experienced with the little one last August WandiOne thing is certain: the residents of Wandiligong in the state of Victoria (Australia), they will be much more careful if they find an orphaned puppy on the street.
In fact, Wandi turns out to be anything but a simple puppy stray dogis a Canis lupus dingo, or rather: dingo!
A wolfhound in the house
It all starts when a small family finds a puppy in their yard that appears to be a dog.
The spouses immediately take him to the clinic Alpine veterinary clinic in the city, with the intention of vaccinating him, deworming him and then adopt it definitely, but the DNA testing reveals something incredible.
It is a dingo, also called the Australian lion. This nickname is no coincidence; In fact, the dingo not only has fur the same color as the lion, but also a wild and carnivorous animal which feeds itself by hunting rodents, birds and sometimes even sheep! In fact, as an adult, he manages to catch large prey, but It never poses a danger to humans.
In fact, it's exactly the opposite! The worst enemy It's actually the Dingo man. In fact, the species is one today Danger of extinction due to the constant environmental changes that humans bring to their territory.
Brought home
It is not known how Wandi ended up in this very inhabited garden, but experts say it is most likely the case slipped from the mouth of a bird after capture.
Whatever the reasons, the most important thing is that he is now in safe hands. In fact, after the visit, veterinarians immediately contacted the Australian Dingo Foundation and volunteers rushed in to care for the animal.
To this day, Wandi lives in one Nature reserve together with 40 other dingoes and is surrounded by experts who put their heart and soul into it Protection of the species.
