Dingos on Fraser Island

Fraser Island dingoes are protected. Due to the remoteness of the island, they have the ability to become the purest strain of dingo on the eastern seaboard. They spend a lot of time on the beach; often walking up to 40 kilometres a day.
Adult dingoes are about the size of a medium dog: standing around 60cm high, 1.2m long and have an average weight of around 18kg.
Dingoes don’t bark but howl like wolves. 
There is estimated to be around 25 to 30 packs on Fraser Island, each containing 3 to 12 dingoes.
The dingo breeds only once a year with pups born during the winter months.
Dingoes are most active at dawn and dusk, when they hunt for food alone or in small packs.As Australia’s largest terrestrial carnivores, they love meat. Diets include kangaroos, wombats and other small mammals

Great capture and info. How can so many survive on such a small island?

Excellent capture.

They seem to be quite healthy so there must be plenty of food for them. Some of the dingoes here at Hawks Nest don't look as healthy as these

I didn't notice them. I was looking at the waterline. It was only after reading the title that I noticed Dingos that fit perfectly into the environment.
