Anyone here got love for Burundi's monster crocodile Gustave? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvBJ0OE8Pa0It weighs a ton, is around 7 metres long (not 12, apparently) and has eaten over 300 villagers. Unfortunately further investigation into Burudi's waters has been closed off due to the giantass war they're having but hopefully Gustave's still alive and kicking asses. Seriously, look at this frickin' thing. I WANT ONE.

I saw a nature documentary on this particular croc last year on PBS. Much of that video was featured in it.
Pity the big cage didn't work during the filming of that documentary. They put some live bait inside as I recall, but the crew ran out of time and money, as well as the civil war going on.
That croc is a monster! I hope he goes out in style.

Jesus, watchout it's LEVIATHAN!
Now all they need to do is to have it fight against a big-a** bull Hippo. Think about it!
LEVIATHAN VS BEHEMOTH FOR THE WIN.

I'll agree with anything that involves everyone's favourite Lake Tanganyka haunting giant crocodile.

NEWSFLASH: HE AIN'T DEAD Recent reports have found that Gustave is still alive and at large!National Geographic In May 2006, Burundi-based Gustave tracker Patrice Faye, a self-taught naturalist, updated McRae on the croc's activities. Faye said Gustave had been credited with ten fatal attacks along the heavily populated shore of Lake Tanganyika, south of Bujumbura, the capital. He also noted that it was impossible to pinpoint Gustave's location, because the cunning croc is always on the move. On January 6, Faye's assistant and translator Dominique Puthod noted Gustave's latest activity in an email to NGA: Faye and other witnesses saw Gustave last November on the Bujumbura shore area, which is very good news, as many feared he had died or been shot. Apparently, two more deadly attacks were linked to Gustave's coming back. Since then, we've lost track of him. It is difficult to spot Gustave these days due to the heavy showers that have poured over Burundi over the last two weeks. Water in the lake is high and muddy. The rainy season has been intense this year; the water levels will finally go down in April. Saddle up, boys, we're going to Bujumbura.
