A pack of dingoes with cream-coloured fur. Four look like adults, one is a pup. A caption suggests we read an open access research article in Australian Mammalogy tilted 'Taxonomic tangles posed by human association – the urgent need for an evidence-based review of dingo and domestic dog taxonomy and nomenclature'.
