Sacred snappers: The African village where crocodiles are revered residents

BAZOUL, Burkina Faso - Crocodiles may be one of the deadliest hunters in the animal kingdom, but in a small village in Burkina Faso, it is not unusual to see someone sitting atop one of the fearsome reptiles.

People in Bazoule, around 30 kilometers from the capital Ouagadougou, share their pond with more than 100 of the razor-toothed creatures.

"We got used to the crocodiles when we were young, swimming in the water with them and all that," said Pierre Kabore, just a few meters away from a crocodile feasting on chicken provided by the village.
