The 24-year-old woman fended off the pack of canines by running into the water.
. “Our job is to mitigate risk. You need to know the individuals, you need to work with the individual dingos, and you also need to work with the situation that those dingos are in.”that at least one of the pack animals was previously classified as a risk and was fitted with a tracking device. “One of the dingos we have identified has been involved in a previous incident which was involved in contact. It was lunging with an intent to make contact,” Behrendorff said.
Since 2011, rangers have used the collars to track dingo movements and dingo-human interactions on the island. The collars are lightweight and designed to be worn by the animals for three months before automatically detaching.The attack is just the latest in a string of incidents involving the animals in recent weeks. Earlier in July, an 8-year-old was attacked on a beach, and in June, a 10-year-old boy was dragged underwater.
Rangers believe the rise in attacks is a direct result of an increasing number of people disregarding restrictions to interact with and feed the estimated 100 to 200 dingos on the island. “We need to work with people that are visiting the island—how not to put yourself in a situation that may lead to a compromising position,” Behrendorff said.
