Footage shows a wild Australian dingo dog bitting a sunbathing woman on the butt amid a string of canine attacks in island paradise

• Recent footage shows a sunbather being bitten on the backside by a wild dingo dog in Australia.
• The incident occurred in K'gari, an island tourist destination in Queensland, last month.

New footage shows the moment a French tourist was bitten on the butt by a dingo dog while sunbathing at a beach in K'gari, Australia, following a string of "high-risk" incidents with the animals.

The video, released by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science, shows the dingo circling the woman lying on her stomach in a bathing suit, biting her backside while she screams, jumps up, and other beachgoers chase it away.

While the video footage taken by another tourist only recently emerged, the attack is believed to have happened last month.

Officials later said the dingo was "humanely euthanized" following several other incidents involving wild dingoes in the area, including the biting of a 7-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman earlier this month.

In a more severe incident earlier this month, a 10-year-old boy was dragged underwater by a dingo on the island and was rescued by his 12-year-old sister, Australian officials said.

"The family treated the boy for puncture wounds to his shoulder and arms and scratches and bruises on his collarbone and arm," Danielle Mansfield, an assistant ranger on K'gari, said in a statement, adding he did not sustain any serious injuries.

Authorities continue to urge those visiting the popular tourist destination and World Heritage site to be vigilant about the wild animals that are becoming increasingly used to humans.

K'gari, also known as Fraser Island, is 76 miles long and the largest sand island in the world, and known for its prestine beaches and lakes, and wildlife.

The island is home to about 200 wild dingoes, also known by their indigenous name wongari, according to the BBC. There are strict rules against feeding the animals and generally staying out of their way.

People may underestimate the dangers posed by the canines, which can weigh up to 44 pounds, per the Telegraph.

"When we say keep your kids close, we mean that," Darren Blake, an indigenous ranger at the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

"I say to people when the wongari are walking around them, 'Would you let a big timber wolf walk around you at Yellowstone Park?' No. Same thing here — they're like wolves," Blake said.

"They are not as big, but they are opportunists," he added.
