For several months, a saltwater crocodile terrorised a remote Australian community by taking several dogs and attacking children.

The 3.6-metre-long crocodile "had stalked and launched itself out of the water at children and adults", says the police in a statement.

In the end, the residents had had enough and decided to organise a feast – with the crocodile as the main ingredient.

The animal ended up as the main ingredient in several different meals, says Police Officer Andrew McBride to the public service broadcaster ABC.

It was a fairly large traditional feast. I think it was boiled into crocodile tail soup, grilled, some bits were wrapped in banana leaves and cooked underground, says McBride.

The crocodile had migrated to a river in the Bulla area, about six hours southwest of Darwin in the Northern Territory, during floods earlier this year.
