Australia Zoo's newest and fluffiest residents are ready to make hearts melt just in time for the school holidays.
Seven-week-old alpine dingo puppies Archie, Eve and Jira were born at the Bargo Dingo Sanctuary south-west of Sydney.
Each has been named after a renowned indigenous Australia: singer Archie Roach, Gubbi-Gubbi elder Eve Fessel and painter Albert Namatjira.
Archie is the only male and has a white coat. Keepers Erin Berry and Becky-Jo Quinn said he is the first to greet new people and loves cuddles.
Jira has a white stripe on her face and a yellow coat, and has been tagged as the alpha sibling, following her keepers around and trying things like swimming first.
Eve is the smallest but confident and brave, with a particular love of cuddles and food.
The dingo pups will have their debut in front of TV cameras on Friday.
