An Australian woman says she feared for her life even as being attacked via two dingoes at an Outback mine.
Deb Rundle, FIFTY FOUR, suffered wounds to her legs and other injuries throughout the mauling in Western Australia final week.
The mine worker had been on a lunch break while a dingo took her phone, prompting her to observe the animal.
Ms Rundle told native broadcaster Seven News that was attacked after stumbling upon other dingoes, leaving “blood in all places on the ground”.
“I appeared down and that i idea, ‘oh my, am I going to die? Are they going to get me down?'” she said.
Native shire president Lynne Craigie said she were “very surprised” by way of the attack.
“Undoubtedly they dingoes are identified to hang around mine web sites… but more incessantly than now not they are relatively timid,” she advised the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
In 2012 a German guy was attacked while tenting on Queensland’s Fraser Island – a popular vacationer spot recognized for its dingo population.
The most famous case of a dingo assault involved 9-week-old Azaria Chamberlain, who disappeared from a campsite near Uluru in 1980.
More than three many years later, a coroner ruled that Azaria – whose frame was never found – have been taken via a dingo or dingoes.
