Patrick Deuel was obese all his life. His loyalty to the fast food and malnutrition has played an important role in his illness.
Before the beginning of his treatment, 42-year-old Patrick weighed almost half a tonne. At one point, he had not left his house, or even his bed, in 7 years. He couldn’t move independently.
The only scale that could be used to weigh him was a livestock scale
He has already been hospitalized to have a gastric bypass surgery. But recently, he was again taken to hospital in serious condition with the same diagnosis - obesity.
Patrick wants to lose weight again and finally stop eating fast food.

The Caño Cristales is a river of Colombia about 100 km long that is located in the Sierra de la Macarena.
It was called the “River of five colors” or the most beautiful river in the world. Normally, the Caño Cristales is indistinguishable from another river. However, for a short period each year, thanks to its red, yellow, green and blue algae, the river "flourishes" in a rainbow of colors.
It can be said that the river is the biological heritage of humanity.

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.
