Man Rescues A Dying Crocodile And The Pair Go Against All Odds To Prove Something Worthwhile

Home Sweet Home

So in place of residing in the river he had grown up in, Poncho ended up following Chito’s boat home. Chito was unaware of this and when the crocodile surprised him in the morning, he could not believe it. The croc had actually spent the night on his veranda and it was an incredible sight to see. He thought they had given their goodbyes so to see him there was a pleasant surprise.

Chito’s Lake

Chito soon learned that the croc made his decision which was to come back to him and not move away from Chito. Ultimately Poncho had to be kept in the lake on Chito’s land. The inseparable pair clearly did not want to be taken apart from each other. In no time, their bond was stronger and Poncho was not complaining about the new lake he was kept in.

Brand New Life

In due time, Chito got married once more and even ended up having a beautiful daughter. He was able to create the family that he had always wanted to have. It was clear that the croc he had recused was also responding to his name. After Chito realized this, he was convinced that Poncho could be trained to do something other things too…

A Quick Learner

Well, all know that a crocodile would not be safe to keep around anyone else. So even though Poncho was a part of Chito’s life, he needed to prioritize his daughter’s safety. So he took all precautions and the baby wasn’t allowed near Poncho if her father was absent. You can never be too cautious when a baby is around. Soon Poncho was able to learn more and it was such a sight to see.

A Long Process

Poncho was certainly not trained overnight. It took a long while for him to learn so much. More than 10 years of constant interaction with Chito for him to be able to become responsive and attend to his touches. The two would often enjoy swimming, proving that the quality time spent together indeed strengthened their unique bond. It was sort of unbelievable to see that they were so close.

Playing Together

This was not like the ordinary man and pet relationship that we see every day. Poncho’s case was something truly unique. Since he had a strong predatory tendency, he would slowly learn to set aside when he interacted with his savior. They were so comfortable with each other and were happy to spend time together. Then they started playing with each other eventually…
