When you visit Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana be sure to take this short road trip to Paga to visit the Chief's Crocodile Pond.

They call a croc to the shore where you can hold its tail and even crouch over it. Just be sure to avoid the head.

These crocs have a spiritual connection with the original founder of Paga and there is a legendary deal brokered that says the humans will not harm the crocodiles and the crocodiles will not harm the humans or the goats that hang out around the pond.

At night the crocs are likely to be found wandering around the town and they never attack humans. It's a peaceful coexistence.

By the way, there are more than 200 crocs in the pond and only some care to interact with tourists (they're rewarded with fresh fowl). None of them are forced to do anything.
