Writing about my favourite animal is very difficult for me because there is not just one animal I like, there are lots of them. I love chameleons, hippos, dogs, rhinos and so on. Having said that I’m choosing one of all the animals I love and I think it’s going to be the wild dog, also called dingo.
I didn’t know much about dingos, just that they existed. Then, a couple of years ago I travelled to South Africa to work in a wildlife rehabilitation centre. There they had a lot of animals they couldn’t put back into the wild because their injuries were to severe or there was just not enough room for them. Among these animals was a pack of dingos in good conditions in the sense that they weren’t injured. Nevertheless they couldn’t put them back into the wild because there isn’t any room for them. Dingos live in packs and hunt in groups. They are very efficient hunters, intelligent and organized and there is now way a prey is going to escape. The problem is that sometimes they don’t hunt because they are hungry; sometimes they just hunt for fun. And this is the big problem. In South Africa there a lot of national parks and wildlife reserves. However, all this parks have a number of animals they can support and at the same time there must be a balance between hunters and preys. It because of this that wild dogs aren’t welcome in this reserves, because they can kill for fun and endanger the balance that is so hard to keep.
It is very sad that these beautiful animals can’t be located anywhere. Now because of that they are an endangered species. I would love to work with them and find a place where they can live in peace. I’m mean, maybe it’s strange that they kill for fun but it’s in their nature, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Hi Natalie! How did you do for work in Africa? that's incredible, it's my dream! I didn't know about dingos, it's so sad that they are endangered species. See you in class!
