Known. A dingo was buried, and people had cared for him in life.
The grave is in Kinchega National Park, by the Baaka, also called the Darling River, in western New South Wales, Australia. Radiocarbon dates put the burial between 963 and 916 years ago. The dingo was male and more than seven years old. His bones show a healed break, worn teeth, and healed ribs and a lower leg. People had given him food. He was buried in a midden, and river mussel shells were added for centuries after he died.
The page only suggests his hurts may have come from animals such as kangaroos.
