Police in Papua New Guinea have been ordered to search part of a remote island after locals reported seeing a giant dinosaur-like creature roaming the area.

Vllagers on the island of New Britain reported seeing a 3m-tall, grey-coloured animal with a head like a dog and a tail like a crocodile.

One woman said she saw the creature in a marsh just outside the provincial capital Kokopo on the eastern end of New Britain. "I heard the people talking about it and went there to see for myself. Its very huge and ugly looking animal," she said.

A local councillor told The National newspaper that villagers said the creature had been seen by women on several occasions and had reportedly eaten three dogs.

Armed police and villagers carrying bush knives searched the marsh but found no trace of the creature, the newspaper said.
