Not quite up there with the footage of the reunion between the 2 guys and their old pet Lion smile

but quite unbelievable all the same..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-1142...

"Chito says he found the reptile with a gunshot wound 20 years ago on the banks of the Parismina river and nursed him back to health at his home.

He says he released Pocho into the wild but he followed him back, and the pair have been inseparable ever since."

If there's one animal guaranteed to put the fear into me, it's crocodiles.

I'm sure Chito will be eaten, that prehistoric beast is merely biding his time.

When I saw "crocodie man's best friend"

I expected a news report like "Wife eater prowling the banks of the Nile"

Watch the news, you will see him feeding it, kissing it, cuddling it and it rolls around in the water with him too. It ain't dead by a long shot (excuse the pun).

If it's biding it's time then it is the most patient creature on earth, it's been 20 years now......

But it didn't open his jaws once. Wired/stitched/glued together. Small enough gap at the front to pour nutrients(and dope) in. Publicity payday for the dude.

I liked it when he did that, chito rolls him over to play.. pocho then kicks him in the head in a "i cant be arsed/leave me alone" kinda way! biggrin

It does look very docile though, i guess he's very fed well and content.. (if indeed not drugged up)

That certainly looks very plausible.

Seeing they can live over 200 years, 20 is just a tick of the clock. smile

I thought it may have had it's jaw wired too but not according to this clip.

Maybe it's brain damaged or as a previous poster stated, drugged to the eyeballs?

I would be amazed if this is completely genuine.
