The video explores the hunting behavior of Australia's wild dog, the dingo. Initially, the dingo hunts alone, seeking small game. It spots a baby kangaroo, or joey, as a potential target. The mother kangaroo is distracted by a wedge-tailed eagle, allowing the dingo to approach. However, the mother and joey manage to escape as the dingo gives chase. The video concludes by highlighting the dingo's speed and its preference for hunting in packs when targeting larger prey.
