People lost their caution when dealing with dingoes more and more frequently, and the number of reported interactions increased.
That dingoes showed aggressive behaviour towards humans seemed to be similarly likely during different times of the year.
Current threats to the species include predation by introduced species such as feral cats, red foxes, and dingoes.
The cattle industry may benefit from the predation of dingoes on rabbits, kangaroos and rats.
Humans making submissive postures seemed to cause a neutral or submissive reaction of the dingoes.
However, skull measurements from the 1990s detected crossbreeds between dingoes and domestic dogs among the population.
When scavenging for food, wild dogs (presumably, all dogs free to roam, not just dingoes) primarily eat cattle and kangaroo carcasses.
During this time, dingoes may actively defend their territories using vocalisations, dominance behaviour, growling and barking.
