Rusizi National Park is a national park in Burundi, next to the Rusizi River. [3] It is 15 km north of the city of Bujumbura and home to hippopotamuses and sitatungas. [4] Gustave, a Nile crocodile, is rumored to have killed 300 people here.
Numerous capture attempts have been made, including using a massive bear trap in 2002; however, Gustave has evaded capture. Gustave is the basis of the film Primeval (originally titled "Gustave"), which follows a news team sent to Burundi to capture Gustave; while doing so they become a target of a warlord in the midst of an African civil war.
The Ruzizi (also sometimes spelled Rusizi, French: Rivière Ruzizi; Dutch: Ruzizi Rivier) is a river, 117 kilometres (73 mi) long, [1] that flows from Lake Kivu to Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa, descending from about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) to about 770 metres (2,530 ft) above sea level over its length.
Primeval is a 2007 American action-adventure horror film directed by Michael Katleman and starring Dominic Purcell, Orlando Jones, and Brooke Langton.Inspired partially by the true story of Gustave, a 20 ft (6.1 m), 2,000 pounds (910 kg; 0.91 t) giant, man-eating Nile Crocodile in Burundi, [1] the film centers on a team of American journalists who travel to Burundi to film and capture him.

The weight of Gustave, just by viewing a number of videos, is clearly in excess of 2000 pounds. This is an exceptionally large Nile crocodile which typically are not as heavy as Australian salt water crocodiles which can go to 3000 pounds or more. I believe the estimated weight of Gustave should indicate "in excess of 1 ton" at least.
An early example of a 3D platform game, Croc was released for PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Windows. Taking place in the fictional setting of the Gobbo Valley, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos follows a young crocodile named Croc, who sets out to rescue his adoptive family (a group of furry creatures known as Gobbos) from the evil magician Baron Dante.
