Hello! Let's learn about dingoes and how a mother dingo takes care of her pups.

A dingo is a type of wild dog that lives in the Australian bush. When a mother dingo has babies, called pups, she has a special way of teaching them how to hunt food.

Near her home, called a den, the mother dingo doesn’t catch little animals to eat herself. Instead, she leaves those small animals near the den. This is because she wants her pups to try to catch these small animals on their own.

Why does she do this? Because the pups need to practice hunting so they can learn to take care of themselves when they grow up. The mother helps them by giving them chances to catch food, but she doesn't do it all for them.

This way, the pups become strong and smart hunters, ready to live by themselves one day.
