Default Gustave - The Giant Crocodile of Burundi

Well, the (big)croc seems to be smarter than men tryin to catch it.
I'm glad predators that magnitude don't reside in my swimming waters.

Why try to capture the animal? Its a Crocdile and big one at that but its only doing what its instincts tell it too.

Perhaps they were about to move it to some rural area away from the people?

From Wiki..."The last reported sighting of Gustave was in June 2015, One resident claimed that Gustave dragged an adult bull buffalo on a riverbank."

They got a pretty impressive gator down in Florida a few weeks back, 15 foot long.
