Dingo attacks 3-year-old Australian girl
Updated
Authorites in the northeastern state of Queensland are urging visitors to Fraser Island, off the state's coast, to beware of dingos after an attack on a three-year-old girl this week.
State government minister Andrew McNamara says the girl was bitten while playing on the beach, but she wasn't seriously injured.
Her parents gave rangers a description of the animal and they'll now try to find it and kill it.
Mr McNamara says it's the fifth aggressive incident in the past year and three dingos have already been put down.
"The dingos are there, they're wild animals," he said.
"If people feed them then they certainly get habituated and lose their fear but at all times people need to be dingo aware."
