Just for future reference, a Dingo is NOT a Wild Dog, despite what that stupid quiz tells you. That's a very popular misconception, even among some Australians. A Dingo is a Dingo, it's not a Dog at all. A Dog is a K9, a Dingo is NOT a K9. Calling a Dingo a Wild Dog is the same as calling a Wolf a Wild Dog. A Dingo is its own bread. Quick example, a K9 (Dog) can bark, whereas a Wolf and Dingo aren't able to bark. This is a K9 ability only.
You're right. A dingo is its own "breed" .... of dog! Its a canine (K9) - same as a wolf, same as a poodle, a labrador, a chihuahua, a greyhound and whatever the hell Peko is. They all belong to EXACTLY the same species: The species is called "Canis Lupus", commonly referred to as "Canines" or "Dogs". A dingo can have babies with a poodle. And their litter will be perfectly healthy and grow up fertile, being able to have their own babies. This is literally the definition of being the same species. So, yes indeed. A dingo is 100% a dog. Just another breed of dog. And I hate to break it to you, but a wolf is a dog too. Its the OG breed of dog. ('lupus' means 'wolf' in Latin) You can classify them into all sorts of "sub-species" if you like, but a "sub" species does not mean its a "different" species. Its just a sub-group of the SAME species. 90 seconds on Google or Wikipedia will confirm ALL of this for you.🤔🤔👍👍
@@ceevio_art This debate is still going on. In March 2014, after considerable scientific analysis of pure-bred DNA, The dingo was been given its own species status, recognising that it is not descended from dogs or wolves. Ref 'Journal of Zoology', March 27 2014,, article title is "An updated description of the Australian dingo".
@@RobNMelbourne That study is about taxonomy. Not biology. Taxonomists want to classifying everything into as many groups of "sub-species" as they can. If they didn't, they would be out of a job. Currently there are 38 subspecies of 'Canis lupus' listed in the taxonomic record. And I'm sure the good folks at ZSL would love to make that 39 to keep the grant money flowing in. But a 'sub' species is NOT a 'different' species. Its merely a 'sub group' of the SAME species. When it comes to species, biology does not bother itself wilth the taxonomy of "skull sizes" and "length of incisors" and "dark patches of fur", as the study you refer to does. That's all about taxonomy. The study you quote cleary argues why they believe dingoes "..can be considered a distinct taxon". ("taxon". Not "species") The biological definition of "species" is pure and simple. If 2 animals mate and produce offspring, AND their offspring grows up to be healthy, FERTILE adults, then those 2 animals are the same species. Period. Its why lions and tigers are still classified as different species. They CAN produce offspring, but the resulting "liger" (if it survives at all - most do not) is infertile. Same with horses and donkeys. Thay can have babies, but the resulting 'mule' is infertile. Therefore, horses and donkeys are not the same species. The day that a mule gets pregnant is the day that horses and donkeys will be declared to be of the same species. Long story short: The fact that a dingo can breed sucessfully with a domestic dog, and the resulting puppies are fertile, proves they are of the same biological species.
Don't beat yourselves up over this inadequate quiz. I've lived in Australia for 54 years (I'm a Brit who came over aged 9 in 1970) and I am a whiz at quizzes. This one had me in a rage: it is so poorly put together with inadequate questions and generalist answers, that I wouldn't bother with the scores. All marsupials carry their babies in pouches. A dingo is a breed of wild dog but is being considered as a subspecies (see other answers for excellent reasonings). Ostriches do live in Oz but are introduced only. Monotremes are egg laying mammals, they consist of the platypus and the echidna. Australia's original European discoverers were the Dutch.
You both are going to really enjoy the summer storms with the lightning and thunder and that delicious smell of new rain. That little outdoor area you have will be perfect for watching the storms roll in.
BTW, yes, both Echidna and Platypus lay eggs. They are the only two egg-laying Monotremes and everyone knows Sir Don's batting average, you can be fined if you don't hahaha.
I remember the first time I visited the Gold Coast from Melbourne around Xmas, I was having lunch in air conditioned McDonald's and when I went outside, my glasses instantly fogged up and my arms, legs and face were all wet from the humidity.
It's not that bad here in Southern QLD, it was way worse when I lived in Singapore, the lunch time ritual where I worked in Singapore is everyone goes down the lift from the office and stands in the foyer near the door till their glasses adjust to the humidity and then you walk out to the street to go get lunch. It's not safe to walk down the footpath with foggy glasses and it's a daily thing since since Singapore basically gets 2 wet seasons.
It’s an AI quiz, so no design. I’ve suggested to them they do my beginner quiz and then my advanced one ! (On my channel) - written by me a real person lol not a bot!
Mark Taylor declared on 334 runs not out vs Pakistan at Peshawar in 1998 for giving Australia a chance to win the test and the series and out of respect for not bettering the Don whilst being test captain. A few years later in 2003, test opener Matthew Hayden scored 380 runs in an innings vs Zimbabwe in Perth; although Hayden was not captain.
Paul Keating served one and a half terms as PM. He took over from Bob Hawke in 1991, won the 1993 election then lost the 1996 election to John Howard. Sir Donald Bradman 99.94 batting average needed just four runs in his last innings to reach the 100 average. 4 runs is just one hit to the fence. 14 August 1948 at The Oval in London Bradman walks out he just needs 4 runs. He got bowled by Eric Hollies second ball playing and missing. Bradman finished with 6996 test runs. His last ball is almost as legendary for the English as Bradman's career is for us Aussies. Tragic 😭😭😂😂
If you ever get over to Fremantle in Perth, the Batavia shipwreck in the naval museum is worth a look. The ships going to Java use to turn north before they sighted land. They used the winds from the roaring 40's at latitude 40 degrees south to get across the Indian Ocean. Abel Tasman was also Dutch. And Jansoon on Cape York. The coast from Perth to Shark Bay is known as the shipwreck coast. Quite a few shipwrecks never made it to the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) after turning too late or running aground on reefs.
The Dutch originally navigated the West coast of Australia and sold its maps to the UK apparently for $1. Areas in Australia that have a Dutch name include Rottnest Island which a Dutch sea captain landed, which means 'rat's nest' in Dutch, as he mistook the island's quokka population for giant rats; Arnhem land; Van Diemens land (now Tasmania). Other less known include Zuytdorp Cliffs, Dorre Eiland, Cape Leeuwin, Schouten Eiland, Houtman Abrolhos, Zeehan and Swarte Swaene-Revier (Swan River).
To be fair, that was a pretty hard Quiz, Going over it I would of answered around 15 and slapped my forehead on three for not knowing a easy question once I read the answer! Being from another country and not an oldie like me, 5 is still pretty good. Well done.
You should go for a hike and dip in the waterhole up in kondalilla falls national park (outside school holidays and even avoiding weekends). Nice Australian rainforest.
NT and ACT are both Territories, not States. The Federal government is in charge of passing any laws for these areas. Everyone knows 99.94 lol. Ps - Echidna and Platypus are egg laying mammals. This quiz looks a bit millennial.
Re: South land, given the great land masses in the northern hemisphere there was a prediction that there had to be a big southern land to “balance” the north. The great empires got involved in a race to discover it. Don Bradman made no runs in his last innings. If he had made 4 runs his batting would have been 100. Trevor Chappell bowled under arm to NZ to deprive NZ of a win. Widely regarded as unsportsmanlike and well remembered by NZers.
Water dragons can be olive-green and brown. gippsland water dragons are olive-green and can be a brighter green and the brown water dragons are called the Eastern Water Dragon, or Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii, they are grey-brown in colour with black banding, and some have a red belly and chest. Also they can change their skin colour slowly to aid in camouflage.
The Latin name for Australia is Terra Australis; literally 'terra' = 'land' i.e., 'terrain' and 'austral' = 'south' as opposed to 'orentall' = 'east' e.g. The Orient Express, or Oriental for East Asia, or 'occidental' = 'western' etc.
That was a very vague quiz,, I think you did ok, I didn't count my answers, but I'm guessing that I only got about 10 right 😂and ive been here here my whole life nearly 50years 😂
Looks like a male water dragon. Notice the slightly reddish throat. I wonder if they can change colour over time like a chameleon? Not as quickly though. The bg soil is much the same colour. Have been to the UK in mid summer. It was a stifling 18c at noon, lol. But Sofia in winter was -19c, Suceava in Romania was -21c & Seoul in South Korea was -25c. Give me the heat anyday.
We are always taught Captain James Cook Discovered Australia But if you do some research you will find it has been discovered a couple of times by the Dutch more than 100 years before him. And probably they Portuguese in the early 1500's & maybe even Indonesians were coming across before that.
Macassans from Malacca islands now Indonesia came and harvested trepang in NE Arnhemland trading cloth and glass items with the Yolngu long before any European visitors arrived.
The name "England" is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means "land of the Angles". The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages. Bad Quiz guys, not your fault.
'Terra Australis' is Latin for "South Land" Before white discovery, people theorized of a "Terra Australis Incognita" "Great South or Southern Land" It was Matthew Flinders, if history serves me well lol, who then extrapolated the Latin term to call the land Australia.
In regard to Territories. Australia has two internal Territories, being the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, of which Canberra, the nation's capital is its capital. Australia also has multiple external Territories as well, which I can't name just off the top of my head. Tasmania is indeed, a state. An island state, just as Hawaii is an island state of the US.
That wasn’t a good quiz at all, I got about 15/24. Yes the humidity makes it hotter than a dry heat. Make sure you guys hydrate well during the hot weather and get a windscreen cover and steering wheel cover to protect you plus car sheets covers, just makes using the car easier during the summer.
The quiz is very poorly put together and ambiguous. Tasmania is a state - the non-states are the NT and Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) plus other external territories such as Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean and Norfolk Island in the Pacific. Don Bradman's 99.9 is locked in to every Aussie brain. When John Howard was Prime Minister, he said he had the 2nd most important job in Australia, the most important was Captain of the Australian Test Cricket side.
Bad quiz. Yes marsupials have pouches. Wombat pouches face backwards so they don’t get filled with soil as they dig. Echidna and platypus are monotremes - egg laying mammals. Tasmania is a state, Northern Territory is as it says.
That has got to be - BY FAR - THE worst quiz ever compiled by ANYONE on ANY SUBJECT.. EVERRR!! For your own information as new/honourary Aussies.... 1. The name "Australia" is derived from the latin "Terra Australis", which means "Southern Land". 2. All marsupials have a pouch (females only) . The pouch of a marsupial does the same job as a the placenta in placental mammals. Marsupials, by definition, don't have a placenta. All marsupial babies are born the size of a gummy bear (or smaller) very soon after conception. They crawl blind through the mother's fur into the pouch and latch onto a teat, where they stay and develop for months (the same way a foetus does in the placenta) until they are big enough to grow fur and pop their heads out of the pouch. Some marsupial juveniles, like roos and wallabies, will continue to use the mother's pouch for safety, transport, and for the occasional feed while they are weaning, but others, like koalas and wombats, don't go back into the pouch once they are out. 3. The question should be: Which MAMMALS lay eggs? They are called MONOTREMES. There are only two present-day monotremes alive in the world. The Echidna and Platypus. All other mammals in the world are either marsupials or placentals. 5. The 6 states are: WA, SA, Vic, Tas, NSW, and QLD. Everything else is a TERRITORY: (Yes, Northern Territory is a territory! The clue is in the name, guys!). NT and the ACT are the 2 mainland territories. There are also a number of external territories, like Christmas Island, Heard Island, Cocos Islands and Norfolk Island. The difference between a State and a Territory is that each State has its own set of laws, and an elected state government headed by the "Premier" (similar role as a state "Governor" in the US). The Territories, on the other hand, are administered by Canberra. They have no Premiers. They do have an elected "chief minister" and other elected local politicians, and they CAN make up their own laws (like speed limits, etc,) but Canberra can veto or void them if they don't like them. 8. A dingo is indeed a dog. Just another breed of the species "Canis Lupus" - no different to a poodle or a greyhound, a chihuahua or a wolf. Unlike most of our native wildlife that evolved here isolated over millions of years, dingoes were only introduced into Australia about 5000 years ago by humans, who brought them down from Asia via PNG. Before dingoes arrived on the mainland, there were both (Tassie) Devils and Thylacines on the mainland. Once the dingoes (dogs) arrived, the Thylacines and Devils disappeared from the mainland very soon after. They weren't necessarily hunted or killed by dingoes, but they were most likely just out-competed for resources. Dingoes, being dogs, could breed one or twice a year and have 6 to 8 babies in a litter, who, in turn, were ready to have their own babies in less than a year. Thylacines and Devils, on the other hand, only breed once every 3 or 4 years, and only have a pouch and enough teats to accomodate 2 or 3 babies at most in any one breeding cycle. If you're a similar sized carnivore, competing for the similar prey and carrion, guess who's going to survive? The day the dingo arrived on Australia's mainland, the mainland Thylacine and Devils were doomed. By the time the Europeans arrived in the 1700s, the only Devils and Thylacines left were in Tasmania (which, coincidentally, had no dingoes). 10. Maximum 3 year terms in Australia for PM (yes, its stupidly short). But, just like in the UK, it can be even less than 3 years if the PM calls an early election. Keating took over from Bob Hawke as PM in a leadership spill, then won his first election and lost the second. Total 5 years as PM. He actually did more to transform Australia into a global economy as Treasurer (same as UK's Chancellor) than when he was PM. (Most of the other questions are stupidly difficult, random, obscure factoids that most Aussies would have no idea about either. Not to mention the multiple choice questions that don't even give you multiple answers to choose from. What a rubbish quiz!)
Mmmn don’t feel the humidity - sure I feel if its hot but I guess born - live - to die a Queenslander. …. OK THAT QUIZ! Some idiot was left in charge of that quiz … it’s not a Buzzfeed Quiz is it? Yeah I said it -it’s cool to not be onboard with Buzzfeed still yeah? No? Oh well …I like - liked (may be no more after the wanting to charge extra for crap scandal) The Ghoul Boys Shane and Wotseface used to work for and started TH-cam with Buzzfeed does that count? Listen I don’t know what that stretch of water is called either! Oh god sorry guys I’m tapping out at the Olympics question - I don’t know!!

Sacked if they are being paid for this ridiculous quiz Sacking would be the minimum charge awarded to this criminal act of journalism. Bye Guys.
Not a great quiz. Two without a options, some way out of date and the Kangaroo a bit of a trick question. Carrying young. At one point all marsupials carry the young. There are better quizes out there.
@@WayneLyonsalso, New Holland for parts of the southern coast, the western coast and northern coasts (mostly) and the unknown lands inland from those coasts. Then after 1770, New South Wales for the eastern half plus Van Dieman’s Land for Tasmania, all before Matthew Flinders coined the name “Australia” after his circumnavigation (1804, his was the first one). Until then, it wasn’t known whether or not New Holland and New South Wales were part of the same land mass.
@@DeepThought9999 Terra Australis (Latin: 'Southern Land') was a hypothetical continent first posited in antiquity and which appeared on maps between the 15th and 18th centuries. It was a hypothetical land mass long before it was actually discovered by Europeans. So Mathew Flinders did not coin the term, he simply borrowed it from antiquity.
Aww thanks chaps for the shout out!

Bad quiz. Yes marsupials have pouches. Wombat pouches face backwards so they don’t get filled with soil as they dig. Echidna and platypus are monotremes - egg laying mammals. Tasmania is a state, Northern Territory is as it says.
That quiz was pretty crap, it was too vague, but good effort.
I live in Tasmania, it is a state, Northern Territory was kind of obvious for that one.
These questions to be fair are a bit vague and not very question. Territories there are two, Northern Territory and ACT "Australian capital territory"
Poorly worded ambiguous questions.
Some of those questions were poorly worded.
That has got to be - BY FAR - THE worst quiz ever compiled by ANYONE on ANY SUBJECT.. EVERRR!!
For your own information as new/honourary Aussies....
1. The name "Australia" is derived from the latin "Terra Australis", which means "Southern Land".
2. All marsupials have a pouch (females only) . The pouch of a marsupial does the same job as a the placenta in placental mammals. Marsupials, by definition, don't have a placenta. All marsupial babies are born the size of a gummy bear (or smaller) very soon after conception. They crawl blind through the mother's fur into the pouch and latch onto a teat, where they stay and develop for months (the same way a foetus does in the placenta) until they are big enough to grow fur and pop their heads out of the pouch. Some marsupial juveniles, like roos and wallabies, will continue to use the mother's pouch for safety, transport, and for the occasional feed while they are weaning, but others, like koalas and wombats, don't go back into the pouch once they are out.
3. The question should be: Which MAMMALS lay eggs? They are called MONOTREMES. There are only two present-day monotremes alive in the world. The Echidna and Platypus. All other mammals in the world are either marsupials or placentals.
5. The 6 states are: WA, SA, Vic, Tas, NSW, and QLD. Everything else is a TERRITORY: (Yes, Northern Territory is a territory! The clue is in the name, guys!). NT and the ACT are the 2 mainland territories. There are also a number of external territories, like Christmas Island, Heard Island, Cocos Islands and Norfolk Island. The difference between a State and a Territory is that each State has its own set of laws, and an elected state government headed by the "Premier" (similar role as a state "Governor" in the US). The Territories, on the other hand, are administered by Canberra. They have no Premiers. They do have an elected "chief minister" and other elected local politicians, and they CAN make up their own laws (like speed limits, etc,) but Canberra can veto or void them if they don't like them.
8. A dingo is indeed a dog. Just another breed of the species "Canis Lupus" - no different to a poodle or a greyhound, a chihuahua or a wolf. Unlike most of our native wildlife that evolved here isolated over millions of years, dingoes were only introduced into Australia about 5000 years ago by humans, who brought them down from Asia via PNG. Before dingoes arrived on the mainland, there were both (Tassie) Devils and Thylacines on the mainland. Once the dingoes (dogs) arrived, the Thylacines and Devils disappeared from the mainland very soon after. They weren't necessarily hunted or killed by dingoes, but they were most likely just out-competed for resources. Dingoes, being dogs, could breed one or twice a year and have 6 to 8 babies in a litter, who, in turn, were ready to have their own babies in less than a year. Thylacines and Devils, on the other hand, only breed once every 3 or 4 years, and only have a pouch and enough teats to accomodate 2 or 3 babies at most in any one breeding cycle. If you're a similar sized carnivore, competing for the similar prey and carrion, guess who's going to survive? The day the dingo arrived on Australia's mainland, the mainland Thylacine and Devils were doomed. By the time the Europeans arrived in the 1700s, the only Devils and Thylacines left were in Tasmania (which, coincidentally, had no dingoes).
10. Maximum 3 year terms in Australia for PM (yes, its stupidly short). But, just like in the UK, it can be even less than 3 years if the PM calls an early election. Keating took over from Bob Hawke as PM in a leadership spill, then won his first election and lost the second. Total 5 years as PM. He actually did more to transform Australia into a global economy as Treasurer (same as UK's Chancellor) than when he was PM.
(Most of the other questions are stupidly difficult, random, obscure factoids that most Aussies would have no idea about either. Not to mention the multiple choice questions that don't even give you multiple answers to choose from. What a rubbish quiz!)
Ah live in Ta,land. Aussie is not ot.
Mmmn don’t feel the humidity - sure I feel if its hot but I guess born - live - to die a Queenslander. ….
OK THAT QUIZ! Some idiot was left in charge of that quiz … it’s not a Buzzfeed Quiz is it? Yeah I said it -it’s cool to not be onboard with Buzzfeed still yeah? No? Oh well …I like - liked (may be no more after the wanting to charge extra for crap scandal) The Ghoul Boys Shane and Wotseface used to work for and started TH-cam with Buzzfeed does that count?
Listen I don’t know what that stretch of water is called either! Oh god sorry guys I’m tapping out at the Olympics question - I don’t know!!
BTW - the Oz DAY Question IS a bit o a tricky item to chat about - maybe u need to look up the issue on that & I have no idea WOT THE DATE IS Anymore goddamit.
JESUS!
Sacked if they are being paid for this ridiculous quiz Sacking would be the minimum charge awarded to this criminal act of journalism. Bye Guys.
Not a great quiz. Two without a options, some way out of date and the Kangaroo a bit of a trick question. Carrying young. At one point all marsupials carry the young. There are better quizes out there.
Were did U get that terrible quiz...
Is the worse quiz I have ever heard of...❤❤❤
Guys I know so much about Australian history if you need to anything let me know
Tubby Taylor refused to go past Don Bradmans score
Yes Marsupials have pouches not just kangaroos
Echidnas and Platypus are called monotremes they are the only two mammals that lay eggs
New Holland

Terra Australus is Latin for Southern Land
Dirk Hartog discovered WA in 1616 at Shark Bay looked at the place and said Fuck living here to hot and desertly
Don Bradmans average was 99.9

terra australis, southern land.
Terra Australis Incognita
@@DeepThought9999 thank you sir, i forgot that bit. correct. i should know better.
until it was actually located, then it was just Terra Australis
@@WayneLyonsalso, New Holland for parts of the southern coast, the western coast and northern coasts (mostly) and the unknown lands inland from those coasts. Then after 1770, New South Wales for the eastern half plus Van Dieman’s Land for Tasmania, all before Matthew Flinders coined the name “Australia” after his circumnavigation (1804, his was the first one). Until then, it wasn’t known whether or not New Holland and New South Wales were part of the same land mass.
@@DeepThought9999 Terra Australis (Latin: 'Southern Land') was a hypothetical continent first posited in antiquity and which appeared on maps between the 15th and 18th centuries. It was a hypothetical land mass long before it was actually discovered by Europeans. So Mathew Flinders did not coin the term, he simply borrowed it from antiquity.
