And when Pocho died, crocodile tears
I knew that lions, cheetahs, hyenas and jackal can become beloved pets, never before thought of a crocodile in that roll.
You meant role. A crocodile roll is something else.
Now you know why he was only part of the family for 20 years!
After that, the family was part of Pocho.
And Pocho left that porch, to return to the swamp. He was much wiser now and has grown white hair, and his beard became white, too.
Crocs love rolling, it's how they tear their food apart
How do you nurse a crocodile with a gunshot wound to the head, is what I wanna know.
I'm assuming plugs and balls of steel
Remember: If you are a depressed crocodile, there is hope. Talk to a therapist or family member. Reptilian advisors are available in your area.
Crocodiles are territorial it came back to it's territory and the guy probably keep him fed.
Nice, now when i leave to work in mornings, i can proudly say everyday "See ya in a WHILE! My Darling CROCODILE!"
If memory serves the croc was shot in the head and the brain damage basically made him imprint on the man.
This isn't some miracle but more like a happy accident. Croc would've ate him if having his brain scrambled by a bullet hadn't occurred first.
You got proof of this imprinting thing?
There's a story of an American who rescued an alligator that also suffered a brain injury which made the alligator extremely docile with everyone… Strangers and kids included.
Then some asshole filed a complaint with the city and the alligator was basically arrested and executed.
Point of the story: some alligators with brain damage don't try to eat people. That's enough of a demonstration to count as evidence.
Oh that’s crazy. I had never heard something like that. Super interesting. I wouldn’t want to be the person to test the TBI gator tho.
I'm on the stranger's side if they had the alligator hanging around kids. "You don't get it. It's fine. It has brain damage now. So it won't eat the kids."
We'll have a look and reconsider....
Oh wow. That's worse than I thought. Yeah, 1000% on the stranger's side, now. Those adults are something else.
Levels..?
Until he ate them all
Until one day , when suddenly.....
Pocho playing the long game
As a Floridian I’m suprised he wasn’t eaten
Didn't the croc kill him?
"For 20 years Pocho became part of the man's family." then the man's family became part of PochoÂ
was that the dude who was asked to choose between his family and the croc and he choose the croc
That’s awesome
Is this the case where the croc was shot in the head and likely had brain damage making it less aggressive?
Still a cool story though they seemed to genuinely have a bond as much as you can bond with a giant reptile
But seriously a gater skin poncho would be sick..
It's so ugly and repulsive looking though... even if it was attached to me I could never
I don't believe a damn word of this.
Reptiles cant think like that
Forget fetch, this pet’s playing extreme peekaboo
I feel that the text leaves us hanging. What happened after those 20 years?
Maybe something like this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/14/pet-hippo-humphrey-kills-owner
Incredible story, but this isn't a dinosaur my friend. People who own birds do have dinosaurs at home.
Raising a reptilian creature to not fear humans, what a wonderful idea.
