Dingo breeding season is well underway.

Gestation of the dingo lasts between 61-69 days (average 63 days). They become visibly pregnant around 10 days before the birth. Around this time, is when the female selects a suitable den in which to whelp and raise her young. Den sites have been found in hollow logs, rock shelters, the base of large trees, under large tussocks of spinifex grass and in enlarged rabbit warrens. The female spends time cleaning and enlarging the den before the birth. As the pups get older they rotate the litters around different den sites to ensure that the pups have enough prey to hunt in the immediate area. Dingo pups usually first venture out from their natal den at three weeks of age. Then by around eight weeks, the natal den is abandoned, and pups occupy various rendezvous dens until fully weaned at 8 to 10 weeks. Pups usually roam by themselves within 3 km of these dens, but are accompanied by adults on longer treks. Both the male and female pack members help the mother introduce the pups to whole food (9 to 12 weeks), usually by gorging on a kill then returning to the den to regurgitate food to the pups. The mother waters the pups by regurgitation, as well. Pups become independent at 3-4 months. Then progressively at the age of between 9 weeks and 20 weeks the pups accompany the adults on longer journeys. By 4 months, pups are less reliant upon intensive parental care for their immediate survival...
