Dingoes fall under mammaalia in the Class category because like all mammals, dingoes have hair, three middle ear bones, mammary glands, and neocortex. Since dingoes have mammary glands, they are able to produce milk and feed their offspring. The arrangement of the dingo’s teeth proves that it belongs in the Carnivora group in the Order category.
