In common with pangea, they also have all types of insects, arachnids, lizards and snakes, and frogs, and many other animals in common with pangea, so if there were to be some dogs there, it'd not be as astonishing as you claim, anon. What is remarkable is the variety of marsupials there.
>dogs
The dingo is regarded as a feral dog because it descended from domesticated ancestors.

Dingos are native to Australia in the same way that Rishi Sunak is native to Britain.

When did dingoes get to Australia?
When did dingoes first come to Australia? The Dingo is Australia's wild dog. It is an ancient breed of domestic dog that was introduced to Australia, probably by Asian seafarers, about 4,000 years ago. Its origins have been traced back to early breeds of domestic dogs in south east Asia
