Hi intouch,
The scientific name for the dingo recognised by the International Committee on Zoological Nomenclature is Canis lupus dingo. That accords with the concept of the dingo as a subspecies of the Asian Wolf. The European Wolf found in Europe, Canada and the USA would be Canis lupus lupus.

I thought this kangaroo looked a bit thin. Perhaps that has something to do with the number of rabbits. Kangaroos are in suburban gardens even during the day.
