Sacred Crocodiles Guarded by Sabou Villagers in Upper Volta
In Sabou near Ouagadougou, Mossi tribesmen revere around 100 sacred crocodiles living in a 20 acre pond. When a croc dies or is hunted, villagers shed tears and hold funerals. Alou, 14, explains the belief that souls dwell in the animals and that killing a croc invites village misfortune. The animals are fed twice daily and have never attacked locals.
