A Costa Rican named Chito has a very unusual friend – Pocho the crocodile. Their unique friendship lasts already for 20 years and guess what, Pocho didn’t try to have Chito for lunch.
It all started when Chito saved the crocodile that was dying after being shot in the eye. Chito spent all his time with him giving him food and medicine and a lot of attention. Ten years later, he felt the crocodile was comfortable with him, let him approach and even touch, and then play in the water.
Now this amazing relationship attracts tourists’ attention all over the world. But Chito warns people that if somebody gets in the water while they’re playing, it could turn out very bad even deadly.
