Consider this the Australian step-brother of BearsAreBadNews and SavageWolves. \n Also compare FoulFox. Could overlap with PredatorsAreMean if what the dingo wants to do is eat another animal.

UsefulNotes/AustralianWildlife is often stereotyped as wild and deadly. Part of this is TruthInTelevision - Australia is home to some of the world's most deadliest arachnids and frogs - and there's also the fact that to most foreign viewers, creatures like kangaroos and wallabys are near-alien.The dingos are no different. Notorious for their attacks on livestock and the infamous Azaria Chamberlain case, they've earned quite a reputation for themselves. They embody the most feared stereotypical traits of canids - aggressive, uncontrollable and HarmfulToMinors. They may elicit WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes and PapaWolf reactions from characters. Or maybe they're just [[{{Jerkass}} plain unlikable]].Consider this the Australian step-brother of BearsAreBadNews and SavageWolves. See also YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy for mythical Australian predators.----!!Examples[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime & Manga]]* ''Manga/BlackJack'': Dingoes are the main antagonists in the episode "Wilderness Epidemic", where they are incorrectly portrayed as vicious predators that were introduced in Australia by colonialists and devastated the local ecosystem by overhunting the indigenous species. After contracting a disease, Black Jack is forced to [[SelfSurgery operate on himself]], but the smell of his blood attracts a pack of dingoes. He barely survives by using his scalpel as an ImprovisedWeapon, repelling the predators just long enough for his friends to find him and take him to safety.* ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow'' focuses on an English family that moves to Australia in the 1800s. Lucy-May rescues an injured dingo and begs her father to keep it as a pet. He bluntly tells her that if it ever harms her or anyone, he will put it down. His fears are disproven when it grows up to be a friendly, helpful little thing who doesn't have an ounce of violence in his body.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animated]]*During ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', [[DoggedNiceGuy Hal]], talking to Roxanne, tells her that he doesn't like the way Megamind manages to kidnap her all the time and says that if he were [[FlyingBrick Metro Man]], he'd watch her "like a dingo watches a human baby." He recognizes after saying it that the sentence came out creepier than intended, and [[{{Foreshadowing}} sure enough]], he goes psycho when Roxanne rejects him even after he gains superpowers. [[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live Action]]* ''Film/EvilAngels'' is based on the real-life story of Alice Chamberlain, an Australian mother who was falsely accused of murdering her own daughter, Azaria, when in actuality she was eaten by a dingo. Months before the movie's release, a coroner's inquest conclusively proved that, in fact, a dingo ate Azaria Chamberlain, and she was acquitted of all charges.[[/folder]][[folder:Video games]]* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'': Dingodile, a genetically-engineered hybrid of a dingo and a crocodile, usually plays the role of an antagonist in the games and uses a flamethrower as a weapon. His ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'' counterpart is more of an AntiHero, having given up villainy to open a restaurant with plenty of health code violations and having traded his flamethrower for a vacuum.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'': Danny Dingo is a {{Jerkass}} who's unpleasant to everyone around him. His hobby is scamming people, and in one episode, he even tries to get the Greenpatchers fed to a group of feral cats.* ''WesternAnimation/KoalaMan'': In ''[[Recap/KoalaManS1E06TheHandies The Handies]]'', Allison, fed up of constantly losing matches in handball, is offered performance-enhancing drugs. After taking them, Allison slowly starts turning into a ferocious dingo. In a desperate bid to cure her, Koala Man subjects her to a CooldownHug. It works and she returns back to being human.* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''** ''Bart VS Australia'': When doing one his usual prank calls, Bart calls Bruno Dundrige and the following conversation ensues: --> '''Bart:''' ''"Hey, I think I hear a dingo eating your baby."'' -->'''Bruno''': ''"Yeah, well, I-- Ooh! Oh! Oh, that's it. I'm gonna report this to me member of parliament."''** ''Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E7LisaGetsAnA'': At one point, a video game dingo is seen and his objective is to eat seven crystal babies.* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'': ** In "Koala Balloon", Chris, Martin and the titular koala baby are chased by a pack of dingoes. To throw them off, Martin creates a decoy of Koala Balloon made out of wood to fool them. It works, but only for a short time, as the dingoes quickly realize they were tricked and the trio is chased up a tree, forced to spend the night there due to the threatening dingoes on the ground.** In "Kickin' It With the Roos", a dingo chases after a group of kangaroos, including Chris and Martin, who are transformed kangaroos. Once the group gets to a watering hole, Roo Boss fights the dingo and attempts to drown him, after which the dingo quickly makes his escape.[[/folder]][[folder:Real Life]]* The Azaria Chamberlain case. After her sudden disappearance, her parents were accused of murdering her, but they while maintaining that she had been killed by dingos. Despite public opinion, they were eventually proven innocent when DNA evidence came out that proved their claim, as well as the fact that her jacket was seen outside a dingo's den.* In 2001, a nine-year-old boy was [[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/may/01/patrickbarkham killed by a dingo]] on Fraser Island. His brother was mauled, but luckily he made it out alive.[[/folder]]
