12-foot crocodile stands on its own 2 feet

(London Daily Mail) A 12-foot crocodile in your path would be scary at the best of times but this one proves it can tower over any human who visits its watering hole.

As menacing as the predator looks standing on its hind legs, the huge reptile is considered sacred by the local people in Bazoule village in Burkina Faso, West Africa and is simply reaching for the live chicken being dangled before it by the locals.

The relationship between villagers and Nile crocodiles mean that the animals are tame enough to allow people to walk amongst them and even hold their tails.
