===Migration=== Dingoes usually remain in one area and do not undergo seasonal migrations. However, during times of [[famine]], even in normally "safe" areas, dingoes travel into [[pastoral]] areas, where intensive, human-induced control measures are undertaken. In [[Western Australia]] in the 1970s, young dogs were found to travel for long distances when necessary. About 10% of the dogs captured—all younger than 12 months—were later recaptured far away from their first location. Among these, the average travelled distance for males was {{convert|21.7|km|mi|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} and for females {{convert|11|km|mi|abbr=on|sigfig=1}}. Therefore, travelling dingoes had lower chances of survival in foreign territories, and they are apparently unlikely to survive long migrations through occupied territories. The rarity of long migration routes seemed to confirm this. During investigations in the Nullarbor Plain, even longer migration routes were recorded. The longest recorded migration route of a [[Tracking collar|radio-collared]] dingo was about {{convert|24-32|km|mi|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.<ref name="western">{{cite web|author=A.W.
