In the years since, however, the croc had grown to massive proportions. So as Sheedon put his head near its open, tooth-filled maw, would the reptile care about their past – or just see him as another meal? The story of the wounded crocodile actually began 27 years ago in the Central American nation of Costa Rica. Back then, the reptile that came to be called Pocho had been following his predatory instincts in search of food. Under the circumstances, however, his choice of prey that day was an unfortunate one. Pocho had attacked a farmer’s cow, and the owner didn’t take kindly to the source of their livelihood being devoured. As a consequence, the farmer shot Pocho through the eye and left him for dead. And the croc most likely would have died if he had remained undiscovered. Pocho’s fortunes improved, however, when he was spotted in the Parismina river by a fisherman called Gilberto Sheedon, or “Chito.” Naturally, Chito kept a respectful distance at first. When he returned in the evening, though, the crocodile hadn’t moved, so the fisherman decided to investigate further. Chito realized that the reptile was wounded, and he couldn’t bear to see it suffering. So, naturally, he got some friends to help him take it to his lakeside home. “He was a little irritated, but he didn’t have much strength ’cause he was too skinny,” Chito told NPR’s SNAP in February 2014. Inevitably, Chito’s family disproved of having a crocodile in the house, especially around the fisherman’s one-year-old daughter. So at their behest, he took the reptile outside – but he refused to abandon it. Instead, since Pocho was at death’s door, Chito continued to feed him. “So I kept giving him food,” Chito told SNAP. “At first he wouldn’t eat it, but then he began to eat. I kept feeding him chicken until he started looking good.” Moreover, according to the 2013 documentary The Man Who Swims With Crocodiles, Chito even chewed up fish for Pocho. As Pocho was recovering, Chito began trying to stroke his reptilian patient, who wasn’t always receptive. “I just wanted him to feel that someone loved him. That not all humans are bad,” Chito explained to the Tico Times. Chito would even sneak away from his family at night to pet the crocodile. However, trust still didn’t come easily to Pocho during the three years that it took the animal to fully recover. But during that time, Chito’s daughter and second wife also came to love the croc. ************************************************************** ►You can support the channel: PATREON https://goo.gl/KtaKrp ►Image credits: DadoTheGoodVillain https://goo.gl/Dx8adP ►web: http://watchjojo.com ► SUBSCRIBE
