A Strong Bond
In the course of the next few months, Chito fed Poncho using his own hands. He would even mimic the chewing motions in an attempt to entice the crocodile to eat more. Also, Chito has been convinced that the reptile needs his love and care in order to go on living. He went on to even state that this was what allowed him to continue living.
The Art Of Affection
Chito was taking care of Poncho as a pet, making sure that the wild animal was loved by him and that he wanted him to win this battle regarding his health. And moreover, it looked as though Chito taught an animal that was thought to be unable to show affection, to somehow learn to do so. These two would even embrace in hugs and kisses shocking so many people.
What Chito Gave Up
One of the most interesting things about the man and his crocodile friend would have to be what Chito gave up for the croc. Yes, strange as it may sound, Chito’s marriage ended because of the time and effort he placed on the crocodile. It is indeed a sad fact to have to point out that Chito’s marriage ended because of the relationship he shared with the wild animal.
Least Bothered
His wife was a little shook about the kind of relationship that Chito had with the wild croc. So, in the end, it became a little too much so she decided to leave him. This is not even the strangest part of this whole incident. When Chito was questioned about how he feels about all this, he would answer other by telling them that this was not a big deal. In fact, he claims he felt something special with the crocodile.
The Return
Chito did not stop caring for the crocodile but still decided to follow up his plan. So by the time Poncho was strong and healthy enough to get back to the wild, in his natural habitat. So with the help of the same friends, it was again time for Chito to load Poncho into the boat. Even though he loved spending time with the crocodile, he knew where Poncho truly belonged.
Bidding Adieu
So with his friends helping him, Chito was able to release Poncho in a nearby area where they had found him. And then the time came for the two to finally part ways. Even though it was a sad moment, everybody knew it was the right thing to do. And among them, Chito was included. But the next day, when Chito woke up from his sleep, something incredible had taken place.
