Both Marle and another pup, male Digger being reared at the park, are pure bred examples of the Australian animal which has interbred widely with domestic dogs, reducing the genetically pure number of the species.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, wildlife enthusiast Matt Williams gently cradles an adorable 18-month-old female dingo pup named Marle at the Alice Springs Desert Park in Australia's Northern Territory. The purebred dingo is a remarkable example of an Australian animal that has faced significant challenges due to interbreeding with domestic dogs, which has resulted in a decline in genetically pure individuals. Marle and her companion, male Digger, are being carefully reared at the park to preserve their unique genetic heritage. As they playfully explore their surroundings under the watchful eye of dedicated caretakers like Matt Williams, these young dingoes represent hope for conserving the species. The Australian dingo holds immense cultural significance as one of the country's most iconic animals. However, its population has been threatened by crossbreeding with domestic dogs over time. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect and restore genetically pure dingoes. Photographed by Greg Wood from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this stunning image captures not only the beauty and innocence of Marle but also highlights our responsibility to safeguard Australia's unique wildlife heritage for future generations.
