Dingoes do not seem to have had the same ecological impact that invasive red foxes have in modern times. This might be connected to the dingo's way of hunting and the size of their favoured prey, as well as to the low number of dingoes in the time before European colonisation. [96]
The most famous record of a dingo attack was the 1980 disappearance of nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain. Her parents reported that they both saw a dingo taking Azaria out of their tent when she and her family were out on a camping trip to Uluru. [17] In 2019, a father saved his 14-month-old child from a dingo which had dragged it away. [18]
Dingo attacks on humans are rare in Australia, and when they do occur are generally on young children and small teenagers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] However, dingoes are much more of a danger to livestock, especially to sheep and young cattle. [ 3 ]

Dingoes try to kill the emu by attacking the head. The emu typically tries to repel the dingo by jumping into the air and kicking or stamping the dingo on its way down. The emu jumps as the dingo barely has the capacity to jump high enough to threaten its neck, so a correctly timed leap to coincide with the dingo's lunge can keep its head and ...
The relative use of ram and suction feeding is species dependent, but it can help determine the accuracy of prey capture. [18] The mouth aperture represents another tradeoff between the ability to capture large elusive prey with more chances of failure—large gape—or to capture smaller elusive prey with greater success—smaller gape.
The ocean's primary producers, mainly contained in phytoplanktons, produce food energy and biomass photosynthetically from sunlight and are the raw fuel for the ocean food webs. Forage fish transfer this energy by eating the plankton and becoming food themselves for the top predators.
Sea turtles: there are seven extant species of sea turtles, which live mostly along the tropical and subtropical coastlines, though some do migrate long distances and have been known to travel as far north as Scandinavia. Sea turtles are largely solitary animals, though some do form large, though often loosely connected groups during nesting ...
