Researchers at Curtin University have been startled by the effectiveness of urine from dingos, Australia's wild dogs in scaring off kangaroos.
Michael Parson, of Curtin University, added, "When we presented tame kangaroos with coyote urine, they became interested in the new smell, but when presented with the dingo urine they were startled and fled."
Yikes, I don't blame those kangaroos. With the teeth on those dingos, I'm curious as to how they gather the urine specimens?
Not to be outdone, below is a photo of my dog Dax posing as a wild dingo...

Veeeeeery carefully.
Hey Cube! Mate are you sure Dax ain't no dingo. There is an uncanny resemblance there....I'd be" packing my dacks"(aussie expression) if I had to obtain a urine sample from a dingo!!! I certainly am also curious as to how they managed to do it.
Simple -- they just handed the dingo a cup and pointed him to the restroom.
good grief.lol...aw Dax is a cutie!
Good photo, Jennifer.
Dax doesn't look too dangerous to me.
"The dingo ate your baby!"
Dax is a cutie!
Maybe they installed a dingo-sizes urinal, and the dog could just walk up next to it and hike his leg...?
cary: my first thought too.
kathy: packing my dacks... I like that. It rhymes with Dax ;-)
jenny: hee hee
woman: I can't argue with that.
j.d.: thanks, I'll pass that on to my Jenn. Amd yes, Dax is a sweet, and patient soul, but if you look closely, she's munching on a "ball of death".
BTW I can't see or hear about a dingo without thinking about Elaine's remark either.
brooke: I'm sure if they put up signs in wild dog dialect, they'll be glad to comply ;-)
The dingo planted the drugs in the boogie board too.
You are a funny one funny lady Caz!
Hell Caz(no I have not been drinkin' again....well maybe just a couple!) That should have read YOU ARE ONE FUNNY LADY.!!
we must have the same taste in critters. your cat looks like my old cat and your dog looks kinda like one of my pups.
my 4 yr old son saw your dog, and said, "hey there's Pax making a funy face."
mckay: get out! your dog's name is pax and it looks like our dog?
yep. weird, huh?
trimckay: nope, that's beyond weird. That's into the twilight zone... doo dee doo doo... doo dee doo doo.. too weird!
