Villagers in a Thai village were left terrified by this animal's appearance

It has the body shape of a buffalo but the scales and skin of a crocodile

It died shortly after being born and locals now hope it will bring good luck

illagers 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 - despite being born from a buffalo.

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.

The animal surfaced in High Rock, Wanghin in Thailand, and was born to a buffalo, local website Rath reported.

It was claimed the buffalo had given birth to a previous litter of perfectly healthy calves.

But 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.

The strange animal was reportedly born to a buffalo but has the scaly dark skin of a crocodile or reptile
