Calls are mounting for action to be taken after a massive crocodile devoured a pet dog before it was spotted close to children. Cairns lifeguard Bob McPhail said he feared for people's safety after he saw the three-metre crocodile next to the Alamanda Great Barrier Reef Chapel, at Palm Cove, on the weekend. The croc is as fat as a pig, it's got a full belly which is obviously the dog,' he said. He said it was 'crazy' the animal hadn't been relocated especially because the swim leg of a recent triathlon event was held nearby. It's believed the same crocodile attacked a cafe owner's pet Kelpie in April, leaving it with severe gashes, but alive.
