Chito is a man who lives in Costa Rica. This man rescued Pocho (the crocodile) from a river when he was dying nearly 2o years ago when a man tried to kill Pocho with a gun and was close to death. Chito brought Pocho to his house and cared for the animal during 6 months until it was healthy again.
When Chito tried to release Pocho into the wilde life again the crocodile did not want to go. This reptile follow him back home and have been with him during 2o years!
Suddenly, He noticed when He told his name the crocodile comes to him like a dog.
Now, they swim and play together in front of tourists. This man has Pocho like If were a domesticated dog. They are one of the major attraction of the zone.
I think, You can take the animal out of the wild, but you can never take the wild out of the animal. Definitely, It is a questionable friendship!

Wow! Do you know what? I always wanted to go and see this show but I am also afraid of what can happen if this crocodile decides to break his relationship and change the word friends for food. Crocodiles are known for being a perfect killing machines, they have survived for many, many years with nothing more that wild instinct but like in everything else there is always an exception to the rule.
