When little Wandi was found half-hidden in a courtyard in the Australian city of Wandiligong, the question that immediately crowded the minds of the locals was one and recurring: is it a dog or a fox?
Yes, because it didn't take much for this adorable-looking puppy to enter the good graces of those who had found him alone, afraid and obviously "out of place" in that town. Just as it took little to discover his true identity: other than a dog or a fox, little Wandi was a dingo, a rare and endangered mammal typical of the Australian fauna.
Congratulations if you have recognized him: Wandi is an Australian alpine dingo, an animal at high risk of extinction and characteristic of the wonderful nature of the country. Let's face it: at first glance, for those who have never seen a dingo, it is practically impossible to distinguish it from a dog, or at most from a fox.

Yet the DNA test spoke clearly: 100% alpine dingo, arrived in Wandiligong in a rather daring way. According to what was reported by the veterinarian who took care of this delightful animal, in fact, some signs found on Wandi's back would suggest that he was caught by an eagle, which probably raised him and took him in flight to where he was found. or around that courtyard.
Really a bad experience for him, no doubt about it. Fortunately for him, however, Wandi found many people ready to treat him and help him, in particular at the Australian Dingo Foundation, where he was transferred after the discovery. Just the officials of the structure hope that this rare and endangered specimen can become a fundamental piece for the survival of the species. Unlike the tropical and desert dingoes, only the Alpine dingo is at risk of extinction, which is why Wandi will receive all the necessary attention.
It is not uncommon for dingo cubs to be prey to birds of prey, which take advantage of the weakness and lack of experience of these animals, which then grow up to develop defense and fighting skills. Separate and distinct from domestic dogs, the dingo tries to survive despite numerous daily threats and difficulties. Wandi, of all, has become a true superstar: there are many people who follow him on the Instagram page dedicated to him.
