Dingo
The dingo is a medium-sized canine with a lean, hard body that has been adapted for strength, agility, and endurance. Soft ginger or tan, black, and tan, or creamy white are the three primary coat colorations of the dingo. The skull is wedge-shaped and tends to be very high in comparison to the rest of the body. The dingo is closely related to the New Guinea singing dog and the New Guinea Highland wild dog, whose ancestry split early from that of today’s domestic dogs and can be traced back to Asia via the Malay Archipelago.
Coastal Taipan
There’s an old joke that says any animal found in Australia wants to kill you. One of the reasons for this may be the Common or Coastal Taipan. It can be found in both New Guinea and Australia. Its venom contains a neurotoxin that can kill a person within half an hour of being bitten. If you are ever bitten by it, we hope you will be able to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
