A 4.2-metre crocodile that attacked a man and ate his dog in far north Queensland has been shot dead by wildlife officers.

Alister MacPhee and his dog Magic Molly were going for a Wednesday evening dip at Bloomfield boat ramp, north of Cairns, when the reptile erupted from the shallows, latched onto his leg and knocked him over.
