Footage of a dingo attacking a swamp wallaby on Fraser Island

[krisandkev]

In the Fraser Coast Chronicle today.
RARE and dramatic footage of a dingo attacking a swamp wallaby in the surf on Fraser Island has been captured by a ranger-guide hosting a tour.
Fraser Explorer Tours ranger-guide Hayden Webber was taking tourists on a Cool Dingo bus tour last week when he shot the amazing video of the dingo capturing and killing the wallaby in small waves near the shore at Seventy-Five Mile Beach.
"It's just nature folks," he told the tour group as they watched the wallaby struggle and try to jump away from the dingo.
"I know it's not very nice to see folks but that is just life, it's just nature."

This in the Youtube link.      poor little wallaby.      But I suppose it goes to show what a single dingo can do, but then again I suppose any similar sized dog could do the same.

WOW.. You don't see that everyday... Sounds like a few ladies on the bus were a bit horrified..

Do you think he might need some pepper to even out the salt on his meal??

[BrindiCruiser]

I have not been to Fraser in ages, but I would be pretty anxious going there with my kids when they are little. It is great that dingoes are there and doing their thing, but it would definitely make me nervous for my young kids.

yea just what the kids needed to see.. 

I can see the lawsuit now "I can't sleep at night - he should have driven off"

[gurules]

I understand your concern, but, don't forget they were there before us.  Stop the dam idiots that have and still feed them.  There are a lot of camp grounds around this country where dingoes are a danger and the one main reason why.  People have feed them and the dingoes have lost their natural fear of man.
We love Fraser Island because of its beauty, diversity and being a little untamed.  Remember the waters that surround it are more dangerous. And more people have been killed over there in motor vehicle incidents then any other type of incident.  The snakes over there scare me more then the dingoes! I have been chased by one of them!  Yes, you have to be prepared and watch your children, which is what you were doing.

Exactly...the same as people should watch their kids when they're at the local shopping centre/park/anywhere

gees Jay, he looks like a fat bastard

Compared to most of the mainland ones, this blokes a porker, havent seen a lean Dingo on Fraser yet.

[Clouty]

As others have said.. Leave them alone

You would be too if you ate a whole swamp wallaby on your own.

Is he yawning or burping?

These ladies probably think the meat they cook originates from the Woolies/Coles fridges. Cows only eat grass and produce milk you know, and chickens only lay eggs.

[Bird]

in our close to 2 weeks on Fraser we saw ONE... ONE MISERABLE FU**ING DINGO. and 1 goanna twice.. I think it was remote controlled to keep the tourists happy

I reckon they are fiction for tourists, like Koalas are for Jap tourists.

Leave the one Dingo alone.

had to look twice....guess who found  the Speewa dictionary 
Have to strongly agree, its their place not ours. Visitors know they live there so adapt, be alert to the possibilities or stay in their own homes not the dingos home.
Image a world with all the so called wrong animals, all so called dangers removed...etc etc. We'd be living in a flat (no higher then 1m) baron land of crap!!!!

[BrindiCruiser]

Is that a turtle that the dingo is eating?
