Wow nice video it reminds me of my home land The Gambia we also got more than 5 to 6 crocodile pools the biggest one at bakau where you can touch and sit on crocodiles without any harm they have been there for thousands of years and still no death record exist .. if you want to check it just write .. crocodile pool in bakau The Gambia . So beautiful
Oh wow I found a root connection here finally 😃- in Pakistan there’s an African community called something like Sheedies who migrated from Africa and who have a festival every year to pay tribute to the crocodiles who are also harmless to people
To respect and animal to to show it peace and harmony to live together results in this. Humans need to apply this to each other and we could have "World Peace"
We need to wake up. How do such connections to the universe be used as weapons to disarm our inner dialogues from the one cord that connects us to.the source . Let's stop demonizing African spirituality...let's embrace the connection
Melody Zezai Gustave is very hard to find even experts have problem. We don't have any information of him for more than 3 years. It is assumed that he is dead.
One can't help feeling a protected and well fed crocodile population is going to expand and multiply. Perhaps the pampered existence restricts breeding.
West African crocodile Relationship with humans Compared to the Nile crocodile, the West African crocodile is smaller: Adults are typically 1.5-2.5 m (5-8 ft) long,[11] and maximum is perhaps 3-4 m (10-13 ft).[12] It is also less aggressive than the Nile crocodile and usually does not attack humans.[3] Mauritanian traditional peoples who live in close proximity to West African crocodiles revere them and protect them from harm. This is due to their belief that, just as water is essential to crocodiles, so crocodiles are essential to the water, which would permanently disappear if they were not there to inhabit it. Here the crocodiles live in harmony with the humans, and never attack swimmers.[8]
In Sudan and Southern Egypt Nubians keep crocodiles in a pit in their homes for good luck. Sobek was the crocodile god of ancient Egypt. Crocodiles were revered in Africa for thousands of years. This is deep ancient African spirituality.
Sanjay Patel Crocodiles can eat up to half its body weight. Some crocs can be up to 1100lbs. There are approximately 200crocs in that lake. Do you really think that the chicken alone could sustain them? There is harmony in that place, probably the last shred of it left between humans and animals.
You have respect for the crocodile because they can eat you You need to have respect for all forms of life- feeding a life chicken to a crocodile is not having respect for that chicken's life- and I know some will think it insane- call it whatever- did you see the fear in that chickens eyes as it was being dangled in front of that crocodile??? This should not happen- and for people to come observe this cruelty is even worse- tourists are paying for you to torture an animal for your own gratification The humane thing to do is to kill that chicken mercifully and then if you want to maintain your ritual feed the croc the dead chicken God loves all animals and this should not be allowed- how a tourist can stand there and observe an animals screams is beyond me That nasty crocodile would be just as happy with a dead chicken!
I really like this. But what would happen if a croc actually did attack? Would they be just as trusting or would they abandon their relationship with the crocs?
They would likely just try to figure out what went wrong in the interaction to prevent it happening in the future. They clearly respect the crocs ability to cause harm and are respectful of that in their interactions.
We can live side by side with these crocodiles, like the ones showing in this village and also the people of Timor where my brother in law's village is located
crocs friendly? try swimming with them in the lake or even dare sit in front of them, close to their jaws and then come n tell me your new experience. good luck
A crocodiles were to me the las animals I would have said would connect to another's soul, so it means We can connect to all living things. The Creator us and all are one.
fucking hilarious, the main guide bullshitting their way to all the tourist money. "we give them chickens to show sacrifice to ancestors.", "we sit on crocodile to show these are not to be feared.' uh huh, ;)
that's fucked up dangling a live baby chicken in front of a crocodile. spare it the trauma- otherwise you're contradicting your skewed perspective of "conserving and protecting" nature.
Honestly, it's not rocket science to understand that the villagers feeding the crocs, along with the fish, wild birds & other mammals they kill & consume keeps them nourished, happy & unlikely to attack the villagers. Crocs are cold blooded so don't require huge feeds very frequently. The supplemental feedings they receive from the villagers is what's keeping the villagers safe from attack. Nothing more. The people have semi domesticated the crocs. Much like the behaviour crocs develope in farms where crocs are raised for their skins the crocs near the village are also semi tamed due to the feedings they receive.
The story doesn't make since there is 200 crocodiles why didn't one of the croc save the drowning boy?I think croc gave me the village back the body to warn them this will happen again if a child pick grass again.
To dangle a live chicken infront of a crocodile is like dangling a baby in a lions mouth. Why do these relationships always involve some aspect of evil.
The Bible say jah created I an I to be Lord over all the animals , we are not predator to be eating animals , there are enough foot, fruits and vegetation for man to survive on. I pray and say no to poachers who kill beautiful animals for sport . Every life has its purpose.
119 pale skin Caucasians thumb-down simply because all this is not about them? Go burn the sea rather than thumbing down you movers of the goalposts. They always move the goalposts to favor them, and if they can't, they get mad like the kid that takes his ball away simply because he's not selected to be part of the players. lol
i´m sure they eat so dead animals you morons, A lot of animals get drowned in the river gowths and the cocodriles devour the drowned ones Better kill the chickens before, No doubt
why feeding them a live chickens, Thats not Good that Chicken knows and have same feeling as you. They have heart blood and soul just like you and me.. Quran 6:38 .. . There is no animal on land, nor a bird flying with its wings, but are communities like you. We neglected nothing in the Scripture. Then to their Lord they will be gathered.
It's excellent that the villagers have managed to gain the interest of tourists & develop a source of income by feeding these crocs. Also a tourist attraction in the USA & other places is to visit crocs or alligator farms, the reptiles are fed for the public. A well fed croc or gator is a much less dangerous one. Plus, it's obvious that crocs & gators do possess intelligence. However, Nile crocodiles are one thing. It's doubtful this harmonious relationship could exist with Saltwater crocs even fed. It's a heartless & cruel practice to feed live chickens to these crocs. People should boycott such practices not observe them & revere them. At least the chickens should be killed prior to feeding them to the crocs. Otherwise the villagers are just practicing & primitive, barbaric & cruel behaviour. It's reprehensible to support their behaviour by paying to witness it. To show such cruelty in this day & age is backward & ignorant, as well as heartless. At least kill the chicken before feeding it to the crocs to limit its suffering. It's obvious the chickens are being unnecessarily terrorised before being eaten. A cruel, ignorant, backward, primitive & barbaric tribe of people. They likely "sacrifice" other defenseless creatures to the crocs, as well as the poor live chickens. Savages.
This is very disturbing to see this beautiful people Holding animal as a protector other than Allah who created them and the crocodile.... May Allah Guide as they are in deep ignorance.... Aryeh Odoi you called this educational, This is total barbarism and backward. awake Burkina Faso
This Is Truly An Amazing Story, Harmony With Crocodiles Unlike ANYTHING You've Ever Seen Or Heard Of Before!!!

If something is dangerous its humans
Wow, they carry water from the lake to water their gardens every day!?!?!?! I live an easy life.
It doesn't make you happier. The proof is more suicide in the West.
I love Africa.
That amazing the crocs didn't eat the child's body but push it to the shore for the tribe to burry. Natural Respect
South Africa is beautiful guys I just love it

This is amazing
Outstanding
intrested to go one day I really enjoyed,
I love Crocodile so much I wish I could visit Africa sometime and take a trip to see a nile crocodile and a legend like Gustave,it still there??
Just don't go in the water.
Melody Zezai Gustave is very hard to find even experts have problem. We don't have any information of him for more than 3 years. It is assumed that he is dead.
That is so sad,I still want to see him alive
Melody Zezai Hopefully, he is still alive. Gustave the badass grandpa crocodile. :)))
I want to visit you
Croc wants to keep getting that free meal so trust me he ain't gonna fuck it up.
Beautiful hearted people ❤
One can't help feeling a protected and well fed crocodile population is going to expand and multiply. Perhaps the pampered existence restricts breeding.
Probably has a small gene pool
awesome video

This Crocs just simply being a gentleman. They just showed love to women.
i remember going there as a child, it was fun seeing them chuck chickens in there as sacrifice
VIVA AFRICA!!!...

I wish these crocs can somehow communicate to all species about befriending mankind & Vice Versa
I wonder if prosper is still alive..

A ticking time bomb it is
Feel sad for the poor chicken

12:20 spider\crocodile cooperation
one of this days a tourist is going to be eating by a crock.
No they're not!
Just stop feeding them chickens for couples of months and see for how long they live side by side in that village Lol!!
Lions in your zoo eat people even when they are not hungry. You should start to appreciate artist for his work.
We know that

Sanjay Patel yea really
Do you know how many some people got mad at their parents because there was no food home?
It is my job to turn crocodile skulls into displays at museums, but hell bro. Ur job is way cooler
Which Species Nile crocs or ..??
West African crocs, a lot less aggressive than Nile crocs
Crocodile seems full and fat. They aren't hungry.
You have respect for the crocodile because they can eat you

Probably see it as 1 off and study what went wrong
There's no reason for it to happen. As long as we respect each other, there's no danger. Ps: I live there.
@@lauryt7774 really, thanks for sharing your experience.
They can’t. If you don’t attack them they can’t.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!
They don't attack humans because they know the humans feed them food?

Kunal Parihar they do swim with them and sit on their backs

Nothing like sacred, they will eat all of you up.
Still not. I live in this country, and it would be nice for you to shut your mouth when you don't know anything about it.
Where all the sceptics now? Explain this now! Cant? Lol
so now tell me again what happens when those same pet Crocs grow 21+ feet?
Its Burkina Faso.
Never trust a crocodile... They are like politicians..
fucking hilarious, the main guide bullshitting their way to all the tourist money. "we give them chickens to show sacrifice to ancestors.", "we sit on crocodile to show these are not to be feared.' uh huh, ;)
It’s not fair to feed them chicken.....this is really 😞 sad....make me cry....this is rudeness

thumbs up.. it made me realize there's a heaven on earth..blacks with their own government
So a child went into the water at NIGHT! when the crocodiles are most active? yeah sounds safe..
The story doesn't make since there is 200 crocodiles why didn't one of the croc save the drowning boy?I think croc gave me the village back the body to warn them this will happen again if a child pick grass again.
Lol so how do u think the crocs killed the boy and bring back the body uninjured?
