Fraser Island is home to about 200 dingoes. "They reportedly went to investigate and saw a dingo attacking the toddler." The boy, accompanied by his mother, was flown to a hospital from Fraser Island off the eastern coast and is in stable condition. The dingo is a protected species on Fraser Island and are a popular attraction for camping tourists. In 1980 baby Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from a tent in a camping ground in Australia's outback, with her mother claiming she was taken by a dingo.
