Currently the dingo is often a wild dog of Southeast Asia and today Commonwealth of Australia. It is ordinarily known as the Australian wild dog. The dingo is known to have originated in Asia and brought to Commonwealth of Australia by Austronesian mongers some 3,000 years ago. Him or her throve upon launching, and chop chop disseminate everywhere on Australia, quite possibly with human assistance. Within a short time period the dingo had occupied the entire continent and became a dominant predator, likely contributing to the extinction of marsupial carnivores such as the Thylacine. In recent generations, the dingo has become seen as a pest species, and many measures, including an extensive fence, have been made to stem its encroachment on human property welfare. Also, because of its inbreeding with dogs introduced by European settlers, the dingo gene pool is also considered to be increasingly "polluted". Thus, its present day status is considered "Vulnerable", with some believing its extinction to be inevitable.
