49 crocodiles found inside 2,500-year-old crocodile mummy

A scan of a 2,500-year-old crocodile mummy in a museum in the Netherlands revealed 49 mummified crocodiles trapped inside. On display in the museum since 1828, the three-metre long mummy was found to contain two juvenile and at least 47 hatchlings. It is believed that the reptiles were preserved as an offering to Sobek, the ancient Egyptian crocodile god.
