Four people were reportedly attacked by dingoes in separate encounters on the same Australian island in recent weeks – including a toddler who was flown to hospital after being bitten on the leg.

And this is just the latest spate of violent dingo-human interactions on the popular tourist island of K’gari, which last year saw a pack of three rush and bite a woman who was jogging along a beach, saw a dingo shot and killed with a spear gun and several others put down after attacking people.
