Villagers in a remote Thai village have been left bewildered and terrified by the appearance of this bizarre creature. The strange looking animal has dark, scaly skin like a reptile and a crocodile-shaped head. Footage of the odd creature shows it laid out on a table as a gathering crowd prods its scaly skin and head while lighting candles and incense. Exactly how the creature came to grow scales and form an elongated snout akin to a crocodile remains a mystery – though villagers now hope it will bring them good luck.
