Zoo's New Guinea singing dog dies
The last member of an ancient sub-species of dog in the UK has died in a Devon zoo.
New Guinea singing dogs had been shown to be the original ancestors of all domestic dogs in the Asian region, the zoo said. The dogs get their name from their unique howl, which has been likened to both the song of the humpback whale and a yodel.Living wild in the remote mountains of New Guinea, they have adapted to their environment over 20,000 years, free from contact with people.
