I love the comic strip, Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis. One of the story lines has to do with man-eating crocodiles. It's my favorite. The women and children crocs are normal. The men are predators and really, really stupid. (Exampled by their "baby-talk.) The women and children have excellent vocabularies.
Since the crocs aren't bright they fail miserably at catching their prey. There is even a zebra living next door who's pretty nonchalant about the chase.
So in this strip the crocs have become door-to-door evangelists. They're dressed like Mormons but they could be most any denomination - that knocks on doors. I think there's actually a theological thing going on here because I've had folks come to my door eager to tell me about "dying tonight."
One of my favorite plot lines a while back was Larry (the croc,) desperate because he couldn't support his family, got a job at Starbucks.
Surprisingly he fit right in but then they had to fire him when he ate one of the customers.
