Red Deer, Grampians VIC

These red deer are a feral animal in Australia and a big nuisance. They cause a lot of damage to the native flora and bush floor. Still could not help ourselves and stopped to take these pics. They must be either farm-raised escapees or are used to seeing people. They just looked at us and remained there for quite some time allowing us an opportunity to get these shots.

Dingo (Darwin NT)


The dingo (Canis lupus dingo Meyer 1793) was brought to Australia from southern Asia approximately 4,000 years ago by Asian seafarers (Fleming et al. 2001). For more information click here.
