If you haven't already seen this NatGeo documentary, it's pretty damn interesting:

quote:

Pocho (around 1950–1960 – 12 October 2011) was a Costa Rican crocodile who gained international attention for his relationship of over 20 years with Gilberto "Chito" Shedden, a local fisherman who found Pocho dying on the banks of the Reventazón River and nursed him back to health. The crocodile refused to return to the wild and chose to stay with Chito. The pair became famous after they began performing together in Zimbabwe. The 2013 documentary Touching the Dragon details their relationship.

This is an amazing watch. Obviously the bullet to the head likely had something to do with it, but Poncho wasn’t really down to interact with other humans as much as that guy, so there was recognition of an individual that helped him. Still what that guy did with that croc in the water is unbelievable. I would have never trusted one that far no matter how well fed I kept him.
