# dingo

noun (a dingo, dingoes or dingos)

«dingo» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

### In the lessons

In Australian science and geography lessons, dingoes are a top predator; the long Dingo Fence was built to keep them away from sheep. They howl rather than bark. Campers are warned not to feed dingoes (e.g. on K'gari/Fraser Island).
