My Dairy game: A visit to the paga crocodile pond// 30/03/2021

in Steem Ghana3 years ago

Hello fellow steemit bloggers. I believe all is well with us. I travelled to paga in the Navrongo municipal in the upper east region. Paga is the border town of Ghana and Burkina Faso. I visited the crocodile pond in paga with my friends. In fact it was so amazing that crocodiles are very friendly and beautiful.
There are so many crocodiles in the pond and we were told that the female crocodiles are bigger than the male. That's how they are differentiated and also the females have a big head as the males have small head.

Now we were realized that, before they will call a crocodile to come out of the water, you have to give it a fowl (live) to swallow before they will come. If this is not done then it seems to be a taboo. So anyone who visit the place is charged for the fowl before they will talk of anything different.
Moreover it was stated the crocodiles serves as the spirit of the people of paga, in this case if a crocodile dies it means one person should also die in the community and if someone dies especially the royals then one crocodile has to also die.
Infact the crocodiles are very superior to the people of paga.
One thing is that, anytime a crocodile will walk from the pond to your and dies then it means in no time someone will definitely die in that house.
Crocodile does not die in a pond, all because it has a poisonous substance of which if it dies in the water, it will cause damage to the rest in the water. So they normally die outside the the pond. There is one thing that will also tell that a crocodile is dead. This is when you see that, it has turn surface into the sky. This simply tells you that the crocodile is dead.

As seen above, that's a male crocodile. U can also see that it has open the jaw. It is known that crocodiles take air as their food. So as it has open the jaw, it is feeding.

Infact the crocodiles are very friendly. U can hold their tail, sit and lie on them too.

Is such a nice place that everyone can visit at anytime you want. Infact the crocodile u can see above is about 95years . They are one of the organisms can grow for long and the more the grow the more they become friendly.
They also lay eggs outside the water and when the they are hatched they are then taking into the water
That's a short brief about the paga crocodile pond
Thank you
