A story has been published about the Burundian crocodile "Gustave," which is said to have eaten more than 300 people. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reports that mystery surrounds the giant crocodile, which has supposedly managed to escape "capture" for years despite efforts by hunters to prevent it from killing again. The crocodile, measuring 20 feet in height and weighing about a ton, known as "Gustave," has terrorized local residents in towns near Lake Tanganyika in Burundi and East Africa for years, becoming part of local folklore. Experts suggest that Gustave may be 100 years old, although others argue that he is more likely around 60 years old due to the intact state of his teeth.
Records of his attacks on people living along the northeastern shores of Lake Tanganyika date back to 1987, according to "National Geographic." While it is doubtful that a single crocodile is responsible for hundreds of deaths, eyewitness accounts point fingers at "Gustave," noting that he was shot three times on one occasion, with none of the attempts proving fatal, including traps set for him which instead caught smaller crocodiles. There were claims that Gustave was killed in 2019, but no evidence has emerged since then, leading people to fear that the mysterious creature is still lurking in the river.
