By Animals Correspondent

Australia Zoo has welcomed three gorgeous dingo puppies, bringing a little extra curiosity and charm for visitors to enjoy.

The trio, consisting of two females and one male, are settling into their new home alongside the zoo's much-loved resident dingoes, Archie, Jira and Eve.

At just nine weeks old, the puppies are already showing their individual personalities.

The male is fullofconfidence and usually first to explore, while his two sisters are gradually becoming more adventurous.

Ash Sfornica, Head of Australasia at Australia Zoo, said the puppies had quickly settled into their new surroundings, spending their first day chasing each other and exploring their home.

Dingoes face ongoing threats in the wild, including habitat destruction, persecution and crossbreeding with domestic dogs.
