We often compare serial killers to animals, but as it turns out there are a fair few serial killers who literally are animals. One of them is a crocodile by the name of Gustave. Gustave was born near the Nile River. Many of the crocodiles of his generation were killed by poachers but you can count of Gustave to b(eat) the odds.
Measuring in at about 20 feet (7 feet longer than the average crocodile in the region), and weighing in at about 2000 pounds, Gustave has killed 300 human beings. Note that I said “killed” and not “eaten.” This is because Gustave rarely eats his entire human prey. Generally, he takes a bite and leaves the victim to perish. Witnesses have seen him make his way through a crowd of 5 or 6 people.
Gustave laid low for a little while before resurfacing in 2008. In his hiatus, he actually managed to drown a fisherman. That’s right, he didn’t eat him; he dragged him deep into a lake and let him drown. Rumor has it that he’s still alive and hunting.
