  • Here’s the In-depth video about Gustave, the Killer Nile Crocodile of Burundi. Here we examine the facts, myths, and lies surrounding this crocodile. Reports of him attacking people date back to 1987, but it was when Patrice Fate saw Gustave that what we know about him today came to light.

    Book Description:
    Crocodilians are one of the most interesting, yet misunderstood predators on this planet. Much about what we know surrounding crocodilians is rooted in a history that is full of false information. Subjects such as enormous crocodilians, the history of alligators living in sewers, and their evolution are usually answered with faulty facts. In addition, there is still much we don’t understand about these animals, such as their taxonomy, biology, behavior, and more. Did you know crocodilians show signs of regeneration, what’s going on there?
    To find the truth in all the lies, exaggerations, or unknowns, one must either spend decades studying these animals or pay a hefty price buying complex literature. What We Get Wrong About Crocodilians fixes these problems. The book looks over myths, misconceptions, and mysteries surrounding these animals for an affordable price and is written for a more general audience to understand. The topics discussed range from the 5th century B.C.E. to present day. Some of the topics will be recognizable, some are generally unknown to many, and some may be shocking. Whether you are causally interested in these animals, or have spent decades studying them, What We Get Wrong About Crocodilians will present information rarely discussed and enlighten all.

    Seen this type of comment a few times, so I’ll address it here. A 100 year old, wild crocodile would have little to no teeth left. Yes, crocodilians will regrow their teeth throughout their life, but this doesn’t happen endlessly. There are plenty of truly old crocodilians who no longer replace their teeth like they once did. Acco of Australia Zoo is an example of an old croc who doesn’t have a large set of teeth anymore. Lolong’s age was even estimated at 50-60 years based on teeth as one of the many factors in the study titled “Here be a dragon: exceptional size in a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) from the Philippines”. Wilfred T. Neil in his book “The Last of the Ruling Reptiles” even wrote for alligators “Tooth replacement ceases in old alligators, which may be nearly toothless during the last decade or so of life”. I know tooth regeneration can be prolonged in captive settings, with Grandma, an old Tomistoma of the Phoenix Herpetological Society, being an example. Grandma had barely any teeth when she arrived at the sanctuary. However, they changed her diet and increased the amount of calcium she got. She ended up getting some new tooth buds, but she didn’t start getting robust teeth. This careful precision in nutrition can not be replicated in the wild, so a 100 year old, wild crocodile would be experiencing tooth loss.
    Also, I know there are claims of crocodilians that are over 100 years old in captivity, but these aren’t really confirmed. These were estimates based on mature individuals showing up to a Zoo and then adding up the years since they’ve been there. Grahame Webb, who helped estimate the age of Cassius, even said he’s not 100% sure of his age. Telling the age of a crocodilian is extremely hard, and is one of the sections in my book. Gomek, the large Saltwater Crocodile that lived at St. Augustine Alligator, looked almost the same when he died compared to when he was captured. Combine this with the fact that, as I said in the video, growth does not determine age, it’s hard for us to take these claims of 100+ year old crocodiles as certain. Maybe they are as old as the zoos claim, but this isn’t 100% known. Perhaps I’ll make a video on this, as it’s an interesting subject, but if you want to learn more about the aging in crocodilians you can read my book.

    I don't think Gustave was killed. There are too many holes in the story put out by the magazine for that. Beyond this, if someone had killed him, they would have brought the body back. I'm tempted to wonder if he either is still alive and simply moved to a new territory, or if he simply died of old age somewhere where no one found him.

    Regarding the croc mention at "Batang Lupar, Sarawak". Its named "Bujang Senang". Killed on May 1992 after being hunted for more than a decade. Unlike Gustave, Bujang Senang is easier to identified because of the iconic white stripes on his back all the way to its tail. The exact amount of victims are between 10-20 as the reported eyewitness can easily identified him from other crocs. Lastly its official length is slightly above 19 feet.

    Most reptiles and fish never reach a "maximum size". Their growth rate slows down after a certain size but they continuously grow. That is why stories of large snakes and crocodilians are so believable, if they have the food and don't get sick or killed they just keep growing.

    Gustavo has a very unique face/skull/look & would be very easy to recognize because of that & because of the amount of teeth he has & he was pretty much scaled up by the camera in the documentary without even having to really scale him from head to tail especially when u see him pass a male bull hippo & Gustavo is literally half way submerged only showing the top of his back & he still was wider than the hippo to the point to where the bull moved out of his way which is not something hippos do for crocodiles especially a male bull hippo & then in another scene u can easily scale his size when they'res two other crocs basking on a sandbank infront of Gustav as he swims past in the background , if u seen enough crocs , u can tell that the croc closest to the camera was a normal sized nile croc about 10-12 ft. & the much bigger one behind it was most likely 13-16 ft & then behind both of them you have Gustav that still dwaves both of them by almost twice the size even while being in the background & the farthest one away from the camera!!!!! Hes definitely well over 20 ft. & u don't need a measuring tape to figure that out nor do u have to over exaggerate about his size like most ppl always do , i know how huge just 6 feet is in person so im not one to exaggerate but if hes thicker than the largest hippo , that means hes clearly way thicker than Lolong because Lolong ain't even close to a hippos girth but hes 19ft. long??? Then that clearly means Gustavo has gotta be way over 20 ft. long!!!!! As far as his whereabouts go , He most likely did what most Crocs do that are his huge size do when they run out of a proper food source in they're territory, they move to the coastlines, hes most likely living on the east African coastline or hes moved into the Republic of Congo most likely to a remote area where humans that know about him don't travel to👍

That’s straight through without tumbling.

      1.) I said I bet it is him.
      2.) Anything from after the time of the documentary is up for speculation, as there isn’t a lot of evidence to look at, aside from Faye’s observations and records. The photo appears to be him, but I can’t not perfectly see his scars, so that’s why I wasn’t 100% certain. I said I bet it is him based on his size and shape of his jaws.
      Hope this clears things up.

      Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.❤❤❤❤

    Male crocodiles tend to stay in the same area, unless they’re pushed out by a more dominant male. So if he’s not been encountered in years, he probably got so old that he didn’t grow teeth anymore, was displaced by a healthier male, and died. Then he was devoured in true crocodile style.
