Gustave the Giant Crocodile

Maybe if we give him a tooth brush he won't be so mean and kill people... Water Boy knows his reptiles I think

I love this quote I could see a new tv series! People one on one fights with crocodiles in the wild you have to find one 20'+n kill it bare hand!

Forgot to mention if you win you get to keep all your wounds! And the croc gets studied!

i would watch this show! exept maybe you every minute you are in there with the croc you get $1,000 ORORORORO!!! brain pop!!! ok every minute with a Caimen you get $50. then it goes on to Aligators every minute with an adult aligator $100 then it goes onto a saltwater crocdile!!! every minute $1,000 BUT! the crocs are't fed for a week and the habitat is all water besides for a 1ft wide and 2 ft long island in the middle!!

No its on youtube hes massive. And its in a 3rd world country where they arn't equipted to hunt him. And they wash there cloths in rivers still. So there is a lag chance he could have killed a lot of ppl but.... he may be dead since he hasnt been spotted. Youtube him, hes massive

All 3rd world countries have plenty of AK47s and thats about all you would need to kill any croc....

I wouldn't think it would take too much equipment to kill a crocodile, and the youtube vid doesn't prove anything unless it shows each person being killed, in which case I wouldn't be interested in watching it anyway. Also, 20' isn't that long for a croc, there is a croc in captivity at Alligator Adventures in SC that is 22' long.

Have any documentaion of this guy? I've never heard of it and their website is down.

It's VERY rare for a croc to get 18'+. 20' is EXTREMELY rare. World record is not quite 23' - and it's an animal in India IIRC.

im pretty sure an ak47 could take down any croc. gustave must just be lucky, although he has several bullet scars on his right side

from wikipedia:
The largest captive crocodile alive in the US is located in South Carolina. In June 2002, Alligator Adventure introduced Utan. At 20 feet (6.1 m) long and weighing in at more than a ton, "Utan", the largest crocodile to ever be exhibited in the United States, made his new home in Myrtle Beach.[16]

I remember seeing show about this croc a few years ago on either Discovery or Animal Planet.

Gustav the the biggest nile croc ever reported he is close to prehistoric crocodile sizes! But he is not as large as saltwater crocs can get... And he is surviving by being so elusive and the civil wars have the people more worried over there then a big croc. I would be more worried about whats on LAND where I live and spend most my time. Then being cautious for one hour down by the water looking for crocs while cleaning.

Although there's not much evidence to support 150 victims, it would be entirely possible for one animal to kill that many people over a span of years, IMO. Keep in mind that scientists estimate him to be at least 60 years old. At that rate, that's only a few kills each year. People in some of those third-world countries still use rivers for many different things that we wouldn't need to here since we have running water. I see no reason why he couldn't just pick off a few people who are bathing or washing clothes each year. And it's not like the people there could exactly hunt him down either, they don't have that kind of technology. Honestly, I wouldn't exactly want to be in open water hunting down a 20', 1 ton crocodile either.

(Bottomfeeder) Don't get any ideas, you can't punch an Alligator to death.

(Delhezi222)You can punch anything to death. Believe me.

I rest my case. But yeah, it's very possible IMO that a big Croc could kill that many people.
