“Risky Dingo”-- new band name alert.
Tourons?
Wikipedia’s list of wongari attacks on humans includes one just a week ago. When I lived in AU these stories made the news pretty often. You’d have to be a complete and utter moron to think taking selfies with these animals was a good idea. They got off lightly with just a fine.
They may not be as big as northern hemisphere wolves, but as far as I can tell wongari are behaviourally very similar. Maybe getting people to think of them as small wolves instead of the cute-sounding dingo would lead them being taken more seriously.
That’s 2300 Australian dollars, which is roughly 1550 US dollars.
Wait, are you telling me other countries have total morons who want to play with/touch/pet dangerous wild animals?
Stupidity recognizes no borders, colors, creeds or any other arbitrary classification methods.
Just sayin’.
Huh. Was not aware this existed. Thx.
Harrumpf!
My god! Just look at what those dogs did to her face!!
What happens when the dingo’s are no longer afraid of people:
