A dingo that left a girl with significant leg injuries has been identified as rangers consider measures to prevent future attacks on the tourist island of K'gari, formerly known as Fraser Island.

The identity of the sub-adult male dingo was confirmed by Queensland park rangers on Saturday, a day after the primary-school-aged girl was bitten while swimming.
