Crocodiles are generally aggressive, but not in the town of Paga.
No one has ever been harmed by any of the crocodiles.
The crocodile agreed and helped the hunter to cross the pond.
The hunter built a house there and established a village.
He lost his way and while searching for water met a crocodile which led him to watering hole.
It was then he decided that that spot was where he was going to settle and founded Paga.
He therefore decreed that none of his descendants should ever eat a crocodile.
Nobody really knows how the crocodiles ended up in Paga.
The pond is completely landlocked and some of the oldest beasts in the water arereportedlyover 80 years old.
There are actually two crocodile ponds in Paga.
Sometimes children and even adults would sit on the back of the crocodiles and have their pictures taken.
