And it looks like the idea is spreading...
(NORTHERN) TERRITORY police were forced to arrest a grumpy crocodile and throw it in jail after it was discovered loitering in a town.
Gunbalanya police were called out recently after the 2m female saltie turned up at Arrkuluk Camp, in town.
Police said they found it loitering near a fence, trying to look innocent.
The incident comes after Gunbalanya officers had to shoot dead another croc in August.
It had ventured into Middle Camp - right in the centre of the town, which is 300km east of Darwin - then lost patience and picked a fight with the fence, going into a death roll with it.
Brevet Sergeant Adam Russell said the latest four-legged offender, although dangerous, wasn't about to give anyone much trouble.
"She was pretty tired - pretty knackered at that point," he said.
