In the two hundred million years since the crocodile first appeared on Earth, it has never ceased to fascinate and to frighten. For certain peoples in Mali and Chad, the reptile is still sacred. Alongside the Dogons in Mali and the Bideyet nomads in Chad, we are the privileged witness of their relationship with the crocodile, their proximity can sometimes be disturbing, but always fascinating!

@@macmcskullface1004 Somalis are East Africans and if you studied your culture you would understand the statement above. Your ancestors knew how to work with spices and perfumes. Iv never met a Somali person that doesn't smell great. Their food tastes amazing. They work well with camels and cattle. Do you not think it's amazing to be able to heard a camel. The history in an activity such as that and how owning them has been beneficial to their economy. No one taught your ancestors that and yet that's one of the activities that they survived on. Give yourself a little more credit. While our cultures might not be the same. Nature and it's preservation has always been important to us. Different cultures just do it differently. You're not inferior to anyone. Food definitely doesn grow at a MacDonalds.

Most of us don't give animals enough credit for their capabilities because we're blinded by our own selfishness. We kill them needlessly, encroach on their territory, abuse them and have driven an obscene number of them to extinction, yet in the grand scheme of things expect them to be docile in our presence. Humans are the most dangerous animals on this earth. So I admire and respect such as these who have shown us a great example of what human beings coexisting with animals in the wild looks like. I don't understand what the fascination is with would happen if 'x' animal goes hungry or starves. Why should it come to that in the first place when there's more than enough resources for both humans and animals?

Im not in disbelief of this. Some white guy is able to train crocodiles he finds in the wild. Crocodiles seem to be very intelligent. The ones they have in the village have learnt that they can be dependent and loyal to the People around them and get benefits while the people also treat the crocodiles with high regard. There is no fuckery behaviour on the part of the villagers towards the crocodiles as they are seen as sacred. Makes sense to me.

Absolutely amazing. I heard about this when I visited Ghana. Several people told me about a river in a rural area where people employ crocodiles to help them cross rivers and the crocodiles never harm the people. The people were not Dogon like the people in this video, but they did live in West Africa on or near the very same rivers. Sounds like a possible connection and the stories I heard may actually have been true.
