We were talking about the show River Monsters in history class, and our teacher remembered the name of a single shark that people (The name was given to him by American, South American, and European fishers) who have failed to catch him. Its name is sort of Russian like.. "Gustav."
This is just a single shark that has been said to be intelligent enough to stay away from the most skilled anglers and fishermen. The shark has killed many, many people.
What is the name of this shark? It isn't the "bull shark" or anything, it has a specific name like Gustav.

You have ti mistaken, Gustave is a crocodile, I looked it up and found nothing on a shark named Gustave. Gustave is a massive male Nile crocodile living in Burundi. In 2004 he was estimated to be 60 years old, 20 feet (6.1 m) in length and to weigh around 1 ton, making him the largest confirmed crocodile ever seen in Africa.[1] He is a notorious man-eater, who is rumored to have claimed as many as 300 humans from the banks of the Ruzizi River and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika. Though that number is difficult to prove, Gustave has attained a near-mythical status and is greatly feared by people in the region. Scientists and Herpetologists who have studied Gustave claim that his uncommon size and weight impedes the crocodile's ability to hunt the species' usual, agile prey such as fish, antelope and zebra, forcing him to attack larger animals such as Hippopotamus, large wildebeest and, to some extent, humans. According to a popular local warning, he is said to hunt and leave his victims' corpses uneaten.[1]
