A dingoes life span is about 10 years, yet the oldest dingoes seen out on beaches seem to be 2-3 years.

One local tells of the sad story of a 10 year old dingo who used to enjoy the respite of a shady tree in the Eurong township, always seen just sitting there watching the passing parade of tourist busses and vehicles. The dingo was eventually shot by rangers – but the shot missed. The dingo was seen the next day sitting under the same tree with half his face bloody having been grazed by the bullet but not killed.

Local indigenous people report many similar incidents, with dingoes appearing at their camp suffering bullet wounds and cruel injuries caused by sloppy shooting.
