The first non-native animal in Australia was the dingo. This is contrary to common belief that the dingo originated here. The dingo is believed to have arrived in Australia 3500-4000 years ago from the Asian land mass. The second non-native animal in Australia was the cat, which came on ships with Asian traders around 500 years ago, long before European settlement.
