#25: An Unlikely Friendship
Most of us are terrified of crocodiles and for good reason! They can be pretty dangerous for people if you don’t know how to act around them. However, if you know how to treat them right, you might just discover they aren’t as terrifying as most of us think. One man felt compelled to help a crocodile in distress, and gained an unlikely pet!
A local fisherman from Costa Rica nursed a crocodile to health after it’s been shot in the head and released him back into the wild. However, the reptile felt a strong connection to the man and followed him home. Since then, the rest is history! The man named the croc Pocho and adopted him as a pet, and he became an inseparable part of his family. Who would have believed that all you need to befriend a crocodile is some compassion?
