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.
Now there’s a whole town full of dog-eating-alligator-eating Australians in the Northern Territory. Terrifying stuff.
And yet still that sounds less dangerous than other stuff in NT.
Does this mean they, ultimately, ate the dogs?
You are what you eat eats.
So some bits of dogs were reunited with/integrated into their owners.
Lassie came home. Cooked in a banana leaf.
How Australian can a story be?
Aussies: Hold my Foster’s, mate…
Aussies: Hold my Foster’s, mate…
Errrrr…who’s gonna tell them?
Let them enjoy this, no need to crush the dream or whatever hahaha
Ah, the great Circle of Life.
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.
