Dog-eating crocodile that terrorized Australian town is killed and eaten by residents: "Never a dull moment"
The 12-foot reptile "had been stalking and lunging out of the water at children and adults," police said.
A saltwater crocodile terrorized a remote Australian community by snapping up dogs and lunging at kids -- only to meet its end in a feast cooked up by locals. The 12-foot reptile "had been stalking and lunging out of the water at children and adults," Northern Territory police said in a statement.
"The crocodile had also reportedly taken multiple community dogs."
After talking to elders and traditional landowners in the Bulla community, police shot and killed the scaly predator on Tuesday, police said.

"I believe he was cooked up into crocodile tail soup, it was on the barbecue, a few pieces were wrapped up in banana leaves and cooked underground," McBride said.
"There was a rather large traditional feast."
Commander Kylie Anderson said "crocodiles can pose a significant risk to community safety" and praised officers and residents for working closely together to resolve the issue.
"There's never a dull moment in remote policing," Anderson said.

Love it, a tale as old as time. No really, our ancestors were probably doing this for millennia.
Just swap crocodile for dragon and we have the beginnings of a great fantasy story.
