Capturing the Killer Croc
“DEEP IN THE HEART OF AFRICA, A KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE”
2004•56m•8.0•Released
Documentary
Over a 10-year period, more than 300 people disappeared from the area surrounding Tanzania's Lake Tanganyika. At first, the disappearances were attributed to a serial killer or tribal warfare, but scientists eventually discovered that the culprit was a huge, man-eating crocodile dubbed "Gustave." This fascinating PBS documentary chronicles scientists' efforts to trap Gustave and move him to a nature preserve before he strikes again.
