A recent study published in Nature Communications has found that dingoes may not be the deadly predators of livestock that they have been made out to be. Though dingoes have been blamed for the deaths of domestic livestock in Australia, researchers from the University of New South Wales have determined that the number of livestock deaths attributed to dingoes is actually quite low. Through the use of motion-sensing cameras, they found that dingoes rarely made contact with sheep or cattle, and that their presence actually led to a decrease in predation by other animals.
