Have a look at this madman, just calmly wrastling this half a ton crocodile giving it a belly rub.

" "When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house," he said.

"I stayed by Pocho's side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad. "

And this kids is why you shouldn't smoke crack.

Great story, but I am also thinking how long before the crock will wrestle him back. That just show you kids that drugs are dangerous.

There are a few people who have "tamed" large crocs like that around the globe... there is another guy in NG who treats an enormous salty like a kid with his bluetongue.

Shows what you can achieve if your dedicated
Good on him

 

[Andrais]

And i thought the stuff i brang home was dangerous

In all seriousness, i like the guy. I mean its not every day u get people like him, actually wanting to help a crocodile. If it was one of them farmers or no-crocodile people who found him, they probally would of shot him. That crocodile is tamer than one of my blue tongues lets hope he doesn't make a meal out of him, and yeh true they are reptiles and are cold blooded creatures, but u've seen how affectionate crocs can be towards each other in mating season? maybe Poncho thinks of this guy as his girl friend or maybe the animal does have a softer side under that 475 kg's of power, u never know, crocs can do extraordinary things, good and bad.

 

[whiteyluvsrum]

its only a matter of time, he will end up like treadwell or even less than a ribcage.

Absolutely fantastic story and I really hope that there is actually real truth in the assumption that this particular beast has some sort of bond with this keeper as it really challenges what most of us have been brought up to believe about crocodiles. One thing for sure , this dedicated chap has massive gonads.
