Hey friends, we just uploaded a new video about the world's largest slaughter of wildlife! Check it out! ⬇ "How Football Fuels the World's Largest Wildlife Slaughter": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqyGi5eGv56wcnk.html

Keeping donkeys with your life stock to protect it from wulf attacks is as old as the hills. But sure, after centuries of slaughtering Dingos, Australian farmer's are now finally exploring these "new" methods.

Mindblowing, that same species is treated so differently on the different sides of the fence.

Balancing the needs of farmers and locals with conservation of apex predators like the dingo is often going to be tricky. Another great film!!

The dingo is really only vital because Australia's native apex predators like Megalania, Thylacoleo and Quinkana all died out and something needs to fill the predator niche.

"The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not everyone's greed," Mahatma Gandhi said in what is now one of his best-known quotes. Its ubiquity is for good reason. Our 'must-have, must-buy' economy is eating into the planet's resources like never before, something Gandhi foresaw three-quarters of a century ago

The dingos are getting that Tasmania Tiger treatment! This is somewhat how they became extinct back in the 1930s

I was really mad that people actually tried to make this species extinct, but now that they are actually trying to make it better, that gave me a good surge of endorphine

I love dingos, they are one of my favorite animals! Such a great and informative video, thank you again Terra Mater! 😊

Now a days almost every species on earth except humans needs conservation thanks to human 🙂🙂🙂

A very recent study has suggested that Dingoes weren't introduced by humans at all, but actually island hopped on their own through the islands of South East Asia during the last ice age and are descended from dogs that had reverted to a semi-wild state. Also regardless if it is technically the same species as the domestic dog, it has definitely filled a necessary predatory niche on the continent caused by the extinction of Australia's mega fauna. Just the fact that they have been a part of Australia's ecosystem for thousands of years but hunt the recently introduced foxes, cats and feral pigs is a very good thing.

Hot take: if humans didn't contribute to the extinction of Australia's large predators, then you wouldn't need dingoes.

Australia seems to be running behind when it comes to conservation. It's like we only take action when other countries do so, we're too afraid to be bold and make a stance for the greater good.

When I hear stories like this, I think that Australians don't know how to live in Australia.

My favourite channel ❤ such amazing content as always Dingoes should have the full right to live and thrive healthily and be vital part of Australia ecosystem to keep others animals in check

I was born in Queensland, moved to the Northern Territory and now I live in Victoria. I've noticed a vast change in attitude towards the Dingo in the last 60 Years. Once we hated the bastards, now we use them as domesticated protectors. In Southern states the fox is a real problem and in the North, cane toads are a massive issue. The Dingo with it's biological adaptation to the countries weather, as well as their wit, makes for an incredible solution for some of our biggest environmental issues. It's seems to be less common in Victoria, but in Queensland and especially the NT, a love and respect for the creature as well as harmonious coexistence has been common place for some time. I also love it when Americans try to pronounce Australia. I don't know why, but they just can't seem to do it.

For the longest time I thought they were just feral dogs and part of the invasive species problem. I didn’t realize they had gotten to Australia that long ago

Killing dingoes is like killing tasmanian tigers, it's like history is repeating itself.

You showed Thylacines, but didnt mention that the dogs were one of the main reasons for their extirpation on the mainland 👀

As a dog person, a dog lover, what i had learned in today video on this channel about canid species... the other side of the fence you need dog to herd sheep and the other side of the fence you don't need dog to hurt sheep the other side of the fence you need dog to care for human needs and the other side of the fence you need dog to care for nature needs the other side of the fence dog live in peace with loving care and the other side of the fence dog live in war with hatred the other side of the fence you know thier origin breed root and the other side of the fence you don't know thier origin breed root the other side of the fence to survive only bark is allowed, don't bite with annoying howl and the other side of the fence to survive only bite with howl is allowed, don't bark the other side of the fence human trainedg dog and the other side of the fence dog trained human the other side of the fence dog ate my homework and the other side of the fence dog ate my baby the other side of the fence means domestic and the other side of the fence means wild the other side of the fence "Dog are Man's Best Friend' and the other side of the fence "Man are Dog's Worst Enemy" Poor dog , life isn't so fair when you bring "Bite Topic" to the chat...

I think that humans should never try disrupt a ecosystem for there own profits and this can disrupt the environment of a so unique place like Australia

man these videos are just so informative keep making them, it really helps people understand the complexities of nature today

Awesome work as always, keep it up Terra Mater :^)

Don’t worry, the Dingoes will find ways to evolve around the fence like they have evolved to become faster in the past.

A

Well this was another awesome Terra Matter about the Dingo,also I wish y'all a great day.

Dingos are not a Pest, Cane Toads are the Pest in Australia. 🐸

i love your channel so much and i really love this topic

Just reintroduce Komodo dragons. Kills dingos, kills kangaroos. New top predator. But it would also kill livestock. And a fence will not stop it.

Showing all the sides of the issue!?! Well done! Its not often one sees real journalism anymore, this was the closest to it that I've seen in a long time.

Sadly your site is presenting a one-sided argument and selective to illustrate your argument. Firstly there are dogs in Indonesia that don't bark and resemble the dingo. Dingo attacks particularly on children are well known. One case was that of a dingo taking a baby from a tent. One of the bigger coastal Islands has a pure natural bred protected group of packs. Attacks are regularly reported often involving injury. They are wild animals. There are many causes for the differences in the grass between the sides of the fence. The ground compaction of soil due to grazing. The deliberate planting of the wrong species of grass on pastures, The presence of weeds. Oh yes, Kangaroos have a birthing mechanism that stops at times of drought. Also, note that way more feral dogs, cats, foxes, and pigs are way larger popular targets than dingos. which do way more damage to small really endangered wildlife. Note also Bilbies, and other small native animals are being rehabilitated and bred up for re-establishment of wild population release on the inside of the "dog " fence. You also should be aware that rabbits are sometimes in plague numbers on the other side of the fence BUT Queensland doesn't have a rabbit problem. During my time in Australia and out in western Queensland. I never heard any graziers complain about dingosThe other feral species.... all the time. In fact, many of the bating are to control the other species. In short, your source is very biased and doesn't consider all the other issues. Let there be no doubt Australia's farming and grazing should never have taken place. One more criticism of your badly informed piece is that many of the extinction had NOTHING to do with the fence. Many also took place before 2000 some around the time of initial colonization. i.e. rabbits, sparrows, foxes Indian minas were all introduced by ignorant Settlers. And for the record, Many of the extinct animals you mention didn't live in the area of the fence or grazing either. And finally, the ecosystem in Australia and particularly that outer west Queensland is in no way comparable to the Yellowstone National Park area, It is a False Analogy base on ignorance. As a qualified environmental science and an American, I'm embarrassed for this video.

Australia is always contributing in disturbed food chain by killing top predators that's why they have recently faced a mice rain due to lack of predators 🙂

I like how at a certain point, after talking about the threat that the dingos pone to the farmers livestocks, a police/criminal style background music starts, like in those documentaries about criminality in the american suburbs

Another amazing video!

Your amazing terra!

There seems to be a several hundred kilometer long hole in the fence

l appreciate how yt made science channels actually educational and not just entertainment. same goes for these great documentaries that inform, move and show us directions worth considering!

Best channel to watch videos on animals. Love your contents.💕💕

Man this channel is pure gold 🔥

Hopefully this puts some sense in the brains of policy makers, great effort

I mean, in the land no longer have any large masupial land carnivore… Something is gonna have to fill their role.

You deserve more subs and views

Amazing ❤️❤️

I really feel about Australia's ecosystems and the extinct, endangered native species This feeling is useless unless we do something really effective

Imagine having more vegetation on the side livestock doesnt live on and isn’t at as much of a threat therefore graze more.Crazy.

I live in Australia and would make this point about this video. Most of the video is factually correct but what it lacks is the true information which is the problem of wild dogs in Australia. The wild dogs can cause a sheep farmer to lose up to 300 sheep a night from wild dog attacks. Most of the sheep killed are not eaten but left to die after being mauled and so the fence is there to protect the sheep farming areas from wild dogs. The government is aware that Dingo's will be culled south of the fence but their focus is to eradicate the wild dogs which have become so bad that many sheep farmers are moving to farm cattle instead of sheep. The dingo is not a threatened species at all and it's habitat is spread right across Australia. What we do have is a problem with is sympathetic groups who believe their own ideas and ignore the devastation of the sheep industry to wild dogs. A problem Australia has at this time is a chronic shortage of wild dog shooters who could cull the wild dogs which breed with dingo's making the problem worse. Wild dogs should have been the center story of this video and not Dingo's which is not a threatened species.

Dingoes aren't a native species and likely caused the extinction of the Thylacine and Tasmanian Devil on the Australian mainland. Those were the native predator that the introduced Dingo displaced. The dingo fence isn't just for farmland, it also protects native marsupials from predation by the dingo. Bringing down the Dingo fence will be devastating to the native mammal populations it currently protects.

I never knew Australia had a dingo fence thousands of miles long! Why hasn't this ever been mentioned before?

Sure; feral cats have adapted well to living in the bush even better. Anyone that thinks dingoes living in Australia for just 5-12,000 thousand years makes them a “native species” is ignorant.

I don't understand why the author to this video feels they need to mix blatant lies with interesting truths. Why not just tell the whole story instead of lying so much? And then when they do give some facts, they do it so out of context what they're saying might as well be a lie. "Documentaries" like this frustrate me to no end! Either the author is 100% ignorant and painfully biased on the subject, or they are bold-faced liars. Neither of which should be making documentaries on any subject!

I wanted to ask for a video that would clear the doubt about the Dingo and domesticated dogs. Please make one. Well it was a great video TERRA MATER.

Really good video that shows importance of conservation but doesn't demonize farms and other ppl just trying to make a living which i always hate in some videos really good job

I "love" how developed countries lament the destruction habitat and extinction of species in the developing world while they do the same in their territory.

As a dingo x owner, I am passionate about their conservation and preservation as a species. My dingo is a hybrid, pure alpine dingo (dad) x red heeler x desert dingo (mum). Genetics say 70% to 80%. His behaviours and language are noticably different to dogs, often off putting to other dog owners. His adaptability and social ability is amazing. One example is at the age of 6 months he learnt to bark mimicking my sisters red cattle dog ( different to red heeler). He still yips, howls and sings at times, but is usually dead silent. He is 12 months now, and is my registered assistance (service) animal. He is 3 to 12 months ahead of other dogs this program, well advanced on some dogs that are 2 to 3 years of age. I knew his parents owners, and they had his parents for 3 and 4 generations prior, which is important. The reason I didn't get a pure dingo is their high degree of waryness and timid nature's when in public places like shops. My last dingo x Australian sheep dog was even more intelligent and was trained to be a full working sheep dog.

That one well then go that fell is just me XD

As a person who volunteers with dingoes multiple times a week, this makes me so upset to see how they’re treated in other parts of Australia. They should be a protected species in all states and other ways to protect farmers live stock should be implemented. They’re such beautiful animals and deserve so much better than to be shot and poisoned. In all serious, what’s more Australian than a dingo? So why kill them 😢

As an Australian what we are doing to the dingo is a national shame and the use of 1080 poison should be banned here like it is in the rest of the world for obvious reasons.

Ppl don't realize that all most all animals are important in every ecosystem they are in, and removing any one can have serious consequences.

Interesting 👍

How is a dingo different from a dog? Dingoes have consistently broader heads, and longer muzzles than dogs or wolves. Their pelage (coat) has a wider range than any species of wolf - gold, yellow, ginger, white, black, black-and-tan and sable are all natural dingo colours.

Great Video 🔥❤️ Hopefully I will also join you as wildlife photographer 👍

I hope you can also feature the critically endangered, rare, mighty and majestic Philippine eagle. Thanks much!

The Dingos outcompeted the mainland Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) and therefore took their role in the ecosystem.

3:20 that map is so hard to read ...

Animals have been here first and humans need to figure out how to live with them instead of trying to kill them off.. This angers me so much..

The European colonisation of Australia began in 1788. By that time the thylacine, which had once ranged throughout the continent, was already extinct on the Australian mainland though still thriving in Tasmania. (Hence the derivation of its common name, the Tasmanian tiger.) In its island refuge the native carnivore continued to occupy the apex terrestrial predator niche usurped from it on the mainland by the dingo, whose ancestors, through human agency, had arrived from South-East Asia some thousands of years before. The dingo incurred the enmity of mainland farmers and graziers for the same reason ― livestock predation ― that the thylacine attracted that of their fellows south of Bass Strait. That the dingo never reached Tasmania before rising sea levels at the end of the last ice age cut it off from the continental mainland is evidenced by the immigrant predator's complete absence there in 1788 as well as by the thylacine's continued abundance. It was Charles Darwin who originated the metaphor of the "wedge", which tries to give a mental picture of two competing species (i.e., dependent on substantially the same limited resources, most often though not always food) in any given environment. The newly-arrived species, if it is to become established there, will have to "wedge" the prior occupant out of the niche it holds in the ecosystem. (Species replacement is the prosaic modern term for this process.) If the newcomer proves to be a more efficient actor in its particular mode of life ― as a hunter, scavenger, forager or grazer ― and a more prolific or successful breeder (in other words, a better competitor), then it will soon be on its way to doing this. Sometimes ― notably in the case of carnivores ― it is an additional advantage to also be a better persecutor. Dingos and thylacines, being of the same size, would have been in perennial competition for exactly the same prey during the brief period of transition when both species existed together on the mainland. The well-attested proclivity of dingos to avail themselves of any opportunity to kill foxes and feral cats, two smaller predators whose respective ranges of prey species only partially overlap with their own, is a pretty good clue as to their likely attitude to their now-extinct direct rivals. For almost two centuries Australians, with encouragement and assistance initially from Colonial and since Federation in 1901 from Federal, State and Territory Governments, relentlessly shot, trapped, poisoned and otherwise attempted to exterminate the dingo wherever it encroached onto areas of human habitation or livestock production (so just about everywhere). This made a certain raw economic sense, as the dingo is a very efficient predator of all species of domestic livestock, especially sheep. Although descended from domesticated or semi-domesticated canines introduced from Asia just a few thousand years ago, the workings of natural selection have largely restored to the population the physical and behavioural characters of its more distant wild wolf ancestors. Its recent and continuing persecution by humans made the dingo extremely wary of them and unlikely to approach them under any circumstances. Consequently Australians other than livestock graziers almost never encountered dingos and didn't fear them because they didn't need to. All those Old World cautionary tales about "the big bad wolf" were not seen by the wider public as applying to its Australian cousin. After the Second World War, while the much older war against the dingo continued unabated in pastoral areas, it did wind back or even cease in some places. Mainly this was associated with the rapid growth of Australia's National Parks and nature reserves into what has become the world's most extensive such network. Here the dingo ― occupying the ecologically critical apex predator niche that formerly was the preserve of the thylacine ― keeps kangaroo and other herbivore numbers in natural check. (Dingos, as noted above, also help to keep ecosystems in equilibrium by holding down the numbers of those two exotic pest carnivores, the Eurasian red fox and the feral cat.) In such places a more benign human presence taught resident dingos to stop fearing man, although they remained instinctively wary. It is remarkable that not until 1980 could a single human fatality ― which occurred in a National Park ― be definitively attributed to a dingo attack; in the years since there has been just one more. Australians in general are pragmatic to a fault, eschewing contentious ideological positions and actively seeking consensus on almost any issue. However their views on the dingo present an exception. On the one hand there remain anachronistic voices in the pastoral industry - thankfully no longer the majority even there - that would welcome a return to the bad old days of attempted wholesale eradication. At the other extreme some people hold to a woolly-minded view of the dingo as a kind of misunderstood and unfairly maligned puppydog. One strange concern - having almost the tenor a moral panic - that is shared by many on both sides of the partisan divide, if for different reasons, is the supposedly increasing level of interbreeding between "pure" wild dingos and domestic dogs. Yet from a strictly ecological perspective such a breed club sensibility is quite misplaced. (And the latest scientific research shows that the fear has been much exaggerated anyway.) Any genetic variation flowing into wild populations will only persist and increase in frequency if it proves adaptive for those individuals that carry it, i.e., if it helps, not hinders, them in surviving the omnipresent rigours of natural selection and successfully reproducing in their turn. I try my best to look forward to a time when people in this country will be able to discuss Australia's native - or _nativised_ - canine with a greater degree of objectivity and civility than is now the case. Sadly that seems still to be some way off.

Unfortunately if you Australians don’t do something about this quick, you will have the same problem we have in the UK, since we lost our bears, wolves and lynx to hunting, so the deer populations explode killing all the trees and reducing biodiversity. It’s a knock on effect, you get rid of one member of the ecosystem and it all collapses similar to a jenga tower. You remove one peace and the whole thing collapses

This entire video I was wondering why they can’t just build a fence around the farms. Build a wall if you have to.

Is livestock guardian dog not a thing in Australia?

my uncle has a dingo/dog. The dingo /dog is named otto

5:41 thats ruff buddy

messing with nature never works out in the end

As an Australian I don’t have ANY sympathy for these invasive predators, they came when aborigines first crossed over from Papua New Guinea, since then they’ve wiped out so many native species and kill australian children that get curious and go into the bush, rip azaria shall you Rest In Peace 😔

Ayyyy on one side of the fence they had fun saying that Hahahah

It amazes me how people only focus on what they want to hear, like this video. Pure bred Dingo's do breed once a year and typically have a litter of two to six pups an average of 4 pups. However way back when, Dingo's began breeding with domestic dogs and became hybrids. These hybrids breed twice a year and have a litter of between one to ten and average of five. Still partly dingo but is a different breed. They are around 20 percent larger and are able to kill larger prey and also need to stack on more native wild life and sheep if they can get them. If you do the numbers of how explosive this change has been you can see why there needs to be controls.

It's amazing, it's like Australia has a rabbit and mouse problem. If only they had a wild dog to keep those animals numbers in check...

I bet we could've learned a lot about coexisting with nature from the various native populations around the world before they were colonized and had their numbers reduced and their culture repressed.

cool video

if you live in Australia , cut holes in the fence . make it you're hobby.

2 points: 1. How do you talk a out dingoes and not mention Fraser island? Especially when a large percentage of the footage you used was shot there. 2. If a dingo has a choice between sheep and kangaroos it will go sheep 100% of the time. Slow moving and defenceless compared to quick, agile, and will tare your guts out with a kick.

Dingo is the embodiment of a free and natural spirit, independent, noble and aloof, dignified and graceful, quiet and reflective; an animal of tremendous loyalty and compassion for members of their family group or the human fortunate enough to have the trust and love of this most intriguing native Australian.

Killing dingoes means destabilizing ecosystems and wild rules. Therefore, there should be a system that helps humans and dingoes coexist.

A dingo is literally a DOG who could happily murder mans best friend

7:25 "will this knowledge help to save them?" l guess it can if it's brought to a further public. Morally coloured and with alternatives shown. Terra mater is doing a great job in the raising awareness department! 💪

Ladet ihr auch die deutssprachigen Videos hoch?

In Western Australia, Agriculture did the maths and the biggest cost to all farmers was Mice Control. The feral cat problem is actually the feral cat solution for reducing the biggest avoidable costs to agriculture. Vested pecuniary interests (farmers) have infiltrated local government and regional agencies where a direct pecuniary interest is no longer seen as a potentially corrupting influence and a conflict of interest. These days it is all conflicts of interest. The parable of the Dingo, Cat and Mouse was written by agricultural interests who will do anything for their money.

Hello, I am the owner of 2 dingoes, no I am not a professional animal keeper but I do have rights in order for me to keep them. I have one, Borris, who is a dingo mixed German Shepard (mainly dingo) and I have a dingo puppy, Bella who is a pure alpine dingo. These animals are great and super playful, we must take care of them.

The Dingo is Australia's wild dog. It is an ancient breed of domestic dog that was INTRODUCED to Australia, probably by Asian seafarers, about 4,000 years ago. Its origins have been traced back to early breeds of domestic dogs in southeast Asia (Jackson et al. 2017). SO by your own definition of NATIVE: to become native all you need is time??????

Good future planning for Australia's only one of apex predator.

All animals should live happy🥺

It is amazing that in this day and age, this is still an issue.

Not only are dingoes a needed part of the ecosystem, they hold a unique position in the evolutionary history of canids and humans. They are of critical importance to scientists, and to lose or alter the dingo could mean the loss of invaluable scientific knowledge and contributions forever.

At 6:08 she says dingos help the ecosystem in wildfires... Then goes on and talks nothing about it. Strange tbh.

Me and my Pet Dingo watching this video and look at each other 👀

Another way to show how good we are in Kill and Destroy.

I don't see how their future is threatened with the situation as it is, dingoes aren't going extinct because of the fence, and if anything, the fence probably helps to preserve dingoes from increased interbreeding with feral dogs. I'm perfectly fine with how things are being managed currently. I don't mind videos on dingoes but I'm more interested on how a fence like that affect other animals and the ecosystem.

It never ceases to amaze me the mentality of hanging a dead animal on a fence,Australia is good for that,what is it supposed to do,scare other animals away,get a brain Farmers!

So for anyone screaming “save the dingoes” this video is wrong, the dingoes are NOT native to Australia. Much like Hogs in N. America they were brought there by humans about 3,500 years ago, while archeologists and paleontologists aren’t exactly sure how they got there, judging by the disappearance a of what is believed to be half of Australias native wild life, its pretty clear they aren’t from around there. The question at hand is if the dingoes were wiped out, would Australia recover? Or have the Dingoes left such an impression on Australia that it’s irreversible? We don’t know, but that is what the studies involving the fence hopes to discover.

Dingoes are real? I thought they were just another fantasy creature in Australia…
