Guyana - Bacoo

Guyanese Culture - Mythical figure - Bacoo!

Like the Irish Leprechaun; rewards an owner with riches if the owner feeds it milk and bananas.
Active mainly at night, it is said that a  "bakkoo" if treated well, will answer the wishes of its owner.
'Baku' in some West African languages means 'little brother' or 'short man' thought to have been brought to Guyana from West Africa, pigmy tribe - who are thought to have magical power.
