I think the story of Gustave is outstanding, it should be left to see out the rest of its days, its a natural wonder, trying to capture or kill it would only upset those who would be trying to do it as a croc of that size and reputation would be impossible to contain.

At the end of the movie Primeval, Gustave didn't die! i was so freaked out. I always wanted to see the river he's killed over 100's of people. but after that movie... I'll pass. ...

Man, Gustave is the bomb! Ever since I've seen Primeval, crocs have stunned me, especially Gustave. Can you believe that this monster ate like 300 people? He Is The BOMB!!!

What actually happened to him?
Is any hope of alive?
Such monster kept alive aside and think on daily increasing human population which lead total world tnwards extinction

national geographic should bringing some competitive stories of killer crocs. The gustave is monumental indeed but many stories are matched, like man eater crocs in Borneo ( Indonesia) as reported having more than 20 feet long w/ 1 tonne in weight..
Again, the monster croc is one of the curios topic of wild life for national geographic browsers.. so let make us more amazed w/ other true story of the crocs

its not killingits bout hunting,its in th croc instinct,to prevent that,its obvious it needs to be captured,but the people needs to be cautious.another way to prevent these type of attack,just put a barrier like in the sea to prevent sharks from coming nearthe beach,but it should be very solid

this crocodile sounds like a killer he doesn't eat his pray and is twive the size of the average crocodile and no one has killed this man eater what is wrong with these people if he can kill 300 of them why cant't we kill one of him

I think we just let the beast roam free.When he dies then we study and figure out he was killing most of the villigers. P.S. I'm GAY.

He's not a serial killer, he's a Crocodile. And the fact that he's killed all those people should have no bearing on his freedom. He's just being a crocodile. People who go into his kitchen are willingly taking the risk. Leave him alone to be the force of nature that he has become. He's not a monster or a science experiment. He's a crocodile being a crocodile. period.

however, residents leaving in those possible threat areas should be taught on taking extra security measures like fencing up areas.. etc etc..

it is very rare to have a crocodile living up to this size and age. thus i think it should be left alone, maybe study him from afar (if that is possible) but not taking him into captivity.

You are portraying him as if everyone should go out and kill him and hate him hes just doing what he does in nature and you arent being any better if you want to capture him.

Just leave the poor guy alone. If he was put in captivity he would surely die, and the world would loose a natural wonder. This has happened many times before. Humans should stop messing with nature. Scientists, of all people, should know that. You can 'study' him once he dies of natural causes. Let him roam free, he's a living legend, a natural wonder, not a science experiment. Thank you.

I think its about time somebody catches this croc,so we can learn more about him.And find out if he really is a serial killer or not.
