Osama the Crocodile: 83 Fatal Attacks in a Ugandan Fishing Village
A 16-foot Nile crocodile named Osama terrorized Luganga village near Lake Victoria, Uganda, killing 83 people between 1991 and 2005 by capsizing boats and dragging victims from the water; after a week-long stakeout, officials captured him alive in 2005 and he was sent to a crocodile farm, underscoring Nile crocs’ status as highly dangerous opportunistic predators.
