Boy, 2, mauled by a dingo at popular campsite in Australia
A PARADISE island is plagued by killer fauna, shipwrecks and brutal dingo attacks - but it's so popular that you need a permit to visit.
He was miraculously saved when his brave sister intervened - but still suffering horror puncture wounds, scratches and bruises., ranger Linda Behrendorff said: "From deliberately feeding, to calling animals over to try and get their photos, and even pushing their kids in the path of a dingo to get those photos; it's extremely inappropriate.
Dingoes are a common site on K'Gari Island and parts of Australia. Here's what you need to know about them: Adult dingoes on K’gari stand more than 2ft high, about 4 ft long and have an average weight of around 39lbs. The island was named after him by European settlers in 1847 - before it reverted to its indigenous name in 2023.
