Has anyone here heard of this man killer? there is this Croc living in Africa that has probably killed hundreds of people. One of the oldest and largest ever. There is a big national Geographic article about it and really intresting to read. Alot of people have tried to capture and kill it but is still out there. The story about the crocodile plays out like some kind of horror film.

There is a movie made about it. Just came 2 weeks ago.

I had thought that he had been killed, as there had been no new reprots for a wile. Apparently, he is back. I hope that they will try to capture him alive again.

Yeah. TYhe movie prime evil was based on it. The croc has killed over three hundred people supposedly.

Someone just needs to blow that thing's brains out with an elephant gun.

One can only marvel at such creatures.

A tv channel did a documentary on it a while ago, they tried to capture in so they could move it or put it in a zoo or something but the thing was way to smart for them. The size of it was fascinating as was the cage they built to capture the thing, weighed about 2 ton 40ft by 40ft. The croc ended up pulling it into the water and destroying it, cant be captured

Gustav did not destroy the cage. It was a storm.

Wasn't it the wrong one that went into it anyway? I mean the one they saw on the nightvision camera, they did see Gustave but he wasnt the one who went for the trap. I could be remembering wrong.

yes....and try not to die.
if they could somehow catch it(alive) if its still out there, then that would be amazing. id love to see it

I would be more interested in how old it is, then we should start feeding it people that wouldn't be missed, like sex offenders.

dude i made a topic like this in natural world plz dont read my topics and then post the same thing you even have the same link too

I even post in a thread several months ago about this story, and the movie was actually called Primeval, and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows on Prisonbreak) is the leading actor.

I'm also interested of its age.

I wonder could humans make crocs bigger by favoring an attribute like size as it comes to mating. Always choose largest male and female croc to mate and after many generations of crocs they would hopefully be huge. Basically the same way evolution works. I haven't figured out how humans would benefit but at least we would see big crocs.

that would be like claiming that you'd get bigger babies by only allowing full grown adults to breed
of course the teenagers might be upset but pffft what do they know

Actually, selection has a fully documented effect in the characteristics of offspring. Since humans have (for regrettable and understandable reasons) been killing off most of the large male crocks they came across (as they are the most aggressive) crocks have probably been getting smaller, as large size is no longer as adaptive.

Thats exactly what I was aiming for. Thanks for putting out the words better
