Gustave in Florida?

Hey, it could happen. Like, it really COULD. Scientists have confirmed that there are now Nile Crocodiles in the Everglades. (Note: If’n you don’t know it, Nile Crocs are from Africa, and the Everglades are in Florida, so’s it’s doubtful the Nile Crocs got there by themselves. It’s a safe bet they didn’t make the swim, and in any case they are an “invasive” species and aren’t supposed to be there, regardless of how they arrived.) Nile Crocs are bigger and meaner than the American Alligator or the American Crocodile, both of which ARE indigenous to south Florida. Nile Crocs kill at least a couple hundred people every year in sub-Saharan Africa.

Gustave is an enormous, infamous Nile Croc who is believed to have killed some THREE hundred—all by himself! (Gustave was the inspiration for and “star” of the movie PRIMEVAL.) He lives in Burundi, a long way from the Everglades, but what is there to stop one of the invasive crocs from growing to Gustave-size, munching on all those bodies the mobsters out of Miami dump in the ‘Glades every year? And if you’re wondering what any of this has to do with werewolves, well, in Africa certain tribes believe men can transform not into wolves but into crocodiles. Also, I tend to devote copy here on this site to ANYthing large and ferocious enough to eat your ass. Nile Crocs qualify.
