The haunting, plaintive wail of New Guinean singing dogs once resounded throughout the island’s lush mountains and valleys. Today, with the wild population thought to have gone extinct decades ago, the songs of these secretive canines—close cousins of the Australian dingo—are heard only by zoogoers. But a new study suggests wild dogs living near a gold mine in New Guinea’s highlands are in fact the same animals. If confirmed, the wild dogs could help save New Guinean singing dogs around the world.
