In 1989, a Costa Rican fisherman named Gilberto “Chito” Shedden rescued a crocodile that had been shot in the head. After nursing the crocodile back to health, Chito released it back into the wild. But to his surprise, the next day, the crocodile, whom he had named "Pocho," followed him home and ended up sleeping on his porch. The crocodile kept returning, and over time, Chito began training Pocho. Slowly, they developed a deep bond that lasted a lifetime. For over twenty years, Chito swam with Pocho in the river near his home, often at night. They would play, talk, and share affectionate moments, with Chito hugging, kissing, and caressing the crocodile. Chito's first wife left him because of the time he spent with Pocho, but he shrugged it off, saying he could always find another wife, but never another Pocho.

@Morbidful Very sad to hear at the end of this documentary that Pocho, the crocodile, died of natural causes.

@Morbidful The crocodile was brain damaged, its normal defence response and predatory instincts are basically destroyed.

@Morbidful Many thanks for posting this. Curiosity drew me in, and I saw something incredible and unprecedented. It's fascinating to watch and surprising to the very end. This man with love and care was the beneficiary of a series of unique events and it was great to witness a part of it.

@Morbidful Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Reminds me the Octopus 🐙 guy on Netflix Experts are experts until proven otherwise. The human being knows nothing.

@Morbidful Reptiles like warmth, good food & protection from predators. Great sunbathing companions. They do have thoughts, can see it in their eyes. Can see contentment - having a warm shower, alert or disturbance (lizard hated planes overhead), enthusiasm-gulping a good feed.

@Morbidful I never thought I'd have tears in my eyes for the death of a cocrodile.
