This guy might not be a douche......but he's frigging crazy.
Nearly 20 years ago, a guy from Costa Rica named Chito found a
crocodile, named Pocho, which had been shot in the eye and was dying on the
bank of a river. So Chito took Pocho
home and nursed him back to health.
--Now, Pocho is nearly 17-feet long and weighs almost 1,000
pounds. But that doesn't stop
52-year-old Chito from SWIMMING with, and even HAND-FEEDING, his pet crocodile.
--Chito says, quote, "When I found [Pocho] in the
river, he was dying. So I put him in
my boat and I brought him into my house.
--"After ten years I started to work with him. At first it was slow. I started to play with him, touching him a
little bit and then slowly doing more.
Then I found that when I called his name he would come over to me . . .
--"I just wanted him to feel that someone loved him,
that not all humans are bad. I love all
animals, especially ones that have suffered.
It meant a lot of sacrifice. I
had to be there every day."
