Australia: Dingoes crawl into campervan, take toddler - father gives chase
A toddler who was sleeping in a camper van was dragged away by two dingoes before he was dramatically rescued by his father.
A dingo at Simpson's Gap, West Madonnell Mountain Range, Australia. A man fought off dingoes who had taken his 14-month-old son as he slept in a camper van in Fraser Island, Queensland. Tim Graham/Getty Images Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service principal ranger Daniel Clifton said it was unusual for dingoes to enter sleeping quarters, noting that the boy's family had been camping outside a fenced area to the north of Eurong.
Mark Schipanski said he heard"bone-chilling screams of terror and fear” from his son Mark, whom he rescued by fighting off the animals.
