“In Akan animist Culture, the crocodile is a complex and mysterious animal. Depending on his posture, he represents something. I have selected 3 representations of the crocodile. Alone, he is a symbol of adaptability because it lives both in water and on land. Siamese crocodiles symbolise unity in diversity. Two crocodiles biting the other’s tail are a symbol of dualism, particularly of male and female gender symmetry.”
