Is this Gustav?I find it hard to beleive that any Nile Croc could kill a ASdult Hippo Buy Its Self . Ture story or not .Thanks Russ

Just remember that not to long ago the Indonesians captured a 45foot 700lb reticulated python. When it measured only 21 feet they said that it shrinks like a worm prior to feeding!

yes, but I saw a PBS special on Gustov. I think he is the real deal. A group of herpetologists were trying to catch him alive but he was too smart to get into the trap. He was a maneater and was covered in healed machine gun wounds. He was one old, tough croc. I think he was eventually killed during the civil war in Burundi.
