DNA testing for wild dogs suddenly discovered the rare animals on the planet

No one expected a lonely wild dog, lying alone in the corner of the garden, to be an extremely rare and endangered creature.

According to ABC reported that on the beautiful day of August, an unnamed person in the town of Wandiligong - rural Victoria (Australia) suddenly heard a groan of pain in the corner of the garden. It was a dog-like animal, nestled behind a bush, sobbing "sympathetic" sobbing.

Initially, this person thought that this could be a wild dog or a fox. So very quickly, the poor creature was brought to Dr. Bec Day's local veterinary clinic. Here the dog was devotedly treated, and the doctor also took the opportunity to test DNA to determine the identity of the dog.

Lucky wild dog found.

The only thing that no one expected was that the DNA test gave an unexpected conclusion. According to a recent report, DNA results show that this dog is Dingo - an animal of the Australian native dog family, extremely rare . More specifically, it's 100% purebred, not a bit of a hybrid.

Finding Wandi (the name of the dog Dingo) is extremely happy news for conservationists. Because the wild dog Dingo of Australia is one of the rarest animals on the planet, currently classified as endangered due to inability to breed, has been pursued for hundreds of years.

This is an animal of the Australian native dog family, extremely rare.

According to Lyn Watson, director of the Australian Dingo Foundation, which has just received Wandi, there are a total of three Dingo wild dogs in Australia, including domestic, tropical, and mountain species. Wandi belongs to the genus Dingo living in the mountains, and is also the only species in danger of extinction.

"For us, this boy is a very valuable discovery. The next story will depend on the process of growing up, and whether he can get along with everyone in the center," - Watson said. .

According to CNN, because Wandi is 100% pure, he will be included in the breeding program here. Currently, the program has more than 40 adult Dingo participating.

Watson said the reason for having a breeding program is because most of the wild Dingo in Australia have been mixed wildly, leading to the possibility of extinction of the purebred genetic resources of this animal.

"You will not find anywhere in Australia that has Dingo with 50% less hybrids in domestic dogs. There are even 80% hybrids, " said Ricky Spencer, associate professor of Western Sydney University. will.

This dog belongs to the breed Dingo lives in the mountains.

Speaking of Wandi, it was a lucky Dingo. On Wandi's body when she was first discovered there was a clear trace of the claw, indicating that her fate should have been in the mouth of an eagle, or another large bird of prey. But perhaps, that predator for some reason accidentally accidentally lost his prey.

"There are no puppies around. People found it and did not hear anything else. Only Wandy was lying nestled alone in the garden, groaning only" - Dr. Day recounted.
