Was Godzilla VS. Kong the first movie to do this?

2nd, I don't know if anybody has already written a topic on this already, so feel free to ignore this if there's an existing one.
Ever since the grand release of Godzilla vs. Kong, I couldn't help but think about one thing: since Godzilla beat Kong, does this film mark the first time in cinematic history that a reptile finally beat an ape/primate?
I mean, think about!
Rampage: Lizzie the croc killed by George the ape
Peter Jackson's king kong: King Kong kills the V. rexes
King Kong vs Godzilla: TOHO confirms King Kong won
Kong: Skull Island: Kong defeats the Skullcrawler
To my knowledge, no reptile has a victory on their record.
And yes, I know some of you are thinking "well technically Kong won because he defeated M.G. and saved the real Godzilla" or "there was no winner because the true bad guy was mechaG". Yes, Kong won the battle, but Godzilla won the war.
If a movie has the word "vs" in it, there's usually going to be a winner and a loser. That's why the movie is titled "Godzilla vs. Kong" and not "Godzilla meets Kong". And if a film with "vs" doesn't have a winner/loser then that's just pointless.
But getting back on track, what do you think? Is GVK really the only movie with a reptile winner, or is there one out there before GVK? Let me know!!!
