Other campers also saw a dingo near the Chamberlain tent. Lindy began shouting that a dingo had carried off her youngest child, nine-week-old Azaria. The whole thing began on the evening of August 17, 1980, while Lindy and Michael Chamberlain and their three children were camped at Ayers Rock, a massive rock formation in the central Australian outback. Indeed, some remain skeptical of dingo infanticide to this day, notwithstanding that the parents’ murder convictions were overturned. Nonetheless, I don’t know that prior to the sensational Azaria Chamberlain case in the 1980s the dingo was especially noted for its baby-eating proclivities. Thought to have arrived in Australia 30,000 years ago, the wild dog known as the dingo has long been known for its ferocity and willingness to drag off and eat almost anything, including rabbits, wallabies, and sheep.

And let’s not forget skin cancer and Vegemite. A thousand species of Australian plants are toxic to livestock and humans. Fairy penguins have been known to maul tourists (try explaining that to the folks back home). Some cone shells contain a mix of toxins that can cause pain, paralysis, and collapse. The cassowary, a large tropical bird, has a daggerlike forward toe it uses for kicking. Of the world’s top 25 venomous snakes, Australia has 21, including sea snakes with venom two to ten times as deadly as a cobra’s. The tentacles of the box jellyfish supposedly contain enough poison to kill three adults. The saltwater crocodile, for example, will attack even when unprovoked. Why pick on dingoes? In Australia you’ve got your choice of horror stories.
