Crocodile Scars

Back



In Papua New Guinea a group of initiates is about to enter the final stage of a long and arduous ritual. There is no set age for the rite...but no one can have full status as a man until he's been scarred with mark of the crocodile.

Of course, didn't you see even their statue got humongous size?

Recognition as "initiated men"? Look at the statue at 1:09 in the background. Once you got what it got then you are definitely initiated.
