Best Answer

Apart from introduced wild dogs, dingoes are the largest carnivorous mammal in Australia. They are apex predators: intelligent, strategic and relentless. While kangaroos can easily outdistance dingoes, a group of dingoes working together to can attack and kill even an adult Grey or Red kangaroo.Smaller kangaroos such as wallabies and pademelons have no defence against dingoes.
