Dingoes will generally seek to avoid interactions with humans. Although dingoes will sometimes appear near human populations, their extensive range means that they inhabit areas not normally occupied or traversed by people. Dingo attacks are rarely known to occur, and only a few documented fatalities have been reported. But because of their wild nature, it is a good idea to avoid direct contact with them. Dog-dingo hybrids tend to be more common in large human populations areas, particularly in the southeastern part of Australia. They can sometimes be seen in urban and suburban areas at night. However, it is a good idea to avoid contact with hybrid individuals or packs as well.
