The Man Who Swims With Crocodiles

2016-06-21 15

What do think about this couple? Chito found Pocho wounded and near death on the shore of the River. The crocodile had been shot in the left eye, and Chito nursed it back to health.. After the crocodile, named 'Pocho', improved to normal health, Chito released it to a nearby river to return to its normal life. The next morning, Chito awoke to find that the crocodile had followed him home and was sleeping on his veranda. Living in the water outside Chito's home, the crocodile, who made a 'decision' and preferred to spend the rest of his life with the man who saved his life, became a member of Chito's family, along with his second wife and daughter. Chito's first wife had left him because he was spending too much time with the crocodile. For more than twenty years, Chito swam with Pocho the crocodile in the river outside his home, mostly at night, talking and playing with Pocho while hugging and kissing him. Pocho died of natural causes in the water outside Chito's home in 2011.
