Dingo Attacks in Australia (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Dingo attacks in Australia on humans are considered rare but are known to happen. Dingoes are more of a danger to livestock, with sheep being the most and cattle being the least vulnerable, which is why the Dingo fence was constructed. As wild dogs are large predators, they can be potentially dangerous to humans. Fraser Island is a special centre of attention regarding such, since interaction between dingoes and humans there is very high due to tourism, therefore the majority of reported incidents originate there. The likelihood of wild dogs being a danger to humans depends to a large degree on how humans behave toward them. The more frequently these dogs are fed or scavenge human leftovers, the more likely it is that they lose all caution and sometimes react aggressively towards humans when they no longer receive or find food. During a study on Fraser Island dingoes, the researchers reasoned that the presence of humans influences the activity of dingoes.
