Hey @inaturalist.bsky.social, we need to chat about your AI identification skills when it comes to dingoes. #NotADog

Thank you, appreciate the response. You do definitely convey that there is nuance and their importance. It’s one of the big debates here about dingoes as you probably already know. What are your thoughts on indigenous vs native? Can something be native but not indigenous?

Hi Jack, wondering why you refer to dingoes as not a native species in the book?

Under Australian legislation anything in Australia prior to 1400 is classified as native, so dingoes fit this description.

Had an incredible day on Friday while checking cameras. We saw not one, not two, but THREE DINGOES!! Here's one of our favourite photos from the encounter.

Got quite a few board games this year for Christmas including Cascadia which was a fun, ecosystem building game! Played the first time against @rdashworth.bsky.social tonight. 98-84 in my favour! #boardgame

I share your love for the platypus, and it is also my favourite animal! I’m very keen to read this. 😊
