This dingo has figured out that if he parks himself in this spot near the Devils Marbles in the Northern Territory and looks cute, it doesn’t take too long to get the attention of tourists with food.

Unfortunately, these tourists don’t seem to understand the dangers with this breed of dog.

The official Northern Territory Government website says:

· Never treat a Dingo like a domestic dog, these animals are wild and may display unpredictable behaviour or aggression.
· Never feed wildlife – this will attract Dingoes to humans.

There have been numerous reports of dingoes attacking humans including the Azaria Chamberlain case where a dingo took a baby, and more recently, an attack on a tourist on Fraser Island.

These dogs display plenty of character and have cultural significance to the indigenous of this land.
