From Mrs. Glover

Here is a sleeping dingo. A dingo is a wild dog about the same size as our domestic dog. Their teeth are larger and they have triangular ears. Dingos, alone or in pairs, silently hunt their prey of small marsupials as well as rabbits.

This is a skink which is a reptile. Skinks are probably the most commonly seen of all reptiles. Skinks have thick fleshy tongues and most have movable eyelids and visible ear openings. Most skinks eat insects and some larger ones also eat fruit, flowers, and eggs.
