IMAGES have been shared online of this
creepy creature, which looks half crocodile, half buffalo, after it was
born in a remote town in Thailand.
The bizarre animal appears to be covered
in large scales with a long head, similar to a crocodile, while it seems
to have the body and legs of a calf.
Online footage shows locals gathering around the animal while lighting incense and candles, believed to be for good luck.
Local website Rath reports the animal was born in the village of High Rock by a buffalo that has previously given birth to normal litters.
According to the site, it died soon after birth, and “is believed to bring good luck to the family and the village.”
