A villager of Gatumba, Burundi, displays a photograph of an infamous Nile crocodile known as Gustave as workers in the background wade in the Rusizi River. Estimated in 2004 to be 20 feet (6 meters) long and 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms), Gustave is reputed to have devoured scores, even hundreds people along the Rusizi and Lake Tanganyika.
