Dog-eating dinosaur in PNG

Police hunt "dinosaur" in Papua New Guinea, after sightings of the mysterious creature. It was described as 3 metres tall, grey, with a head like a dog, a tail like a crocodile, and was "as fat as a 900-litre water tank". It was reported to have eaten three dogs. Maybe it's a bunyip that got lost?

They're just fishing for the cryptozoological tourist dollar. Expect the advertising campaign to start up soon, with theme song "Kokopo".

Of course; Fortean tourism. Now it all makes sense...

I'm waiting for the Chupacabra package tour myself.

What's more fascinating at this story is that the town is built inside a caldera.
