Pocho (crocodile)
Pocho (crocodile) (around 1991 in Reventazón River, Costa Rica – October 12, 2011 in Siquirres, Costa Rica), was an American crocodile who became world famous for his relationship with Gilberto "Chito" Shedden, a local area fisherman. Shedden had found Pocho dying on the banks of the Reventazón River, and took the crocodile in, nursing him back to health. The crocodile refused to return to the wild and chose to stay with Chito instead. The pair became famous after they began performing together.
==Dying crocodile is rescued==
Shedden, an area fisherman, tour guide, and naturalist from Siquirres, Limón Province, Costa Rica, discovered a dying male crocodile in 1991, weighing only a skinny 150 pounds on the banks of the Parismina River, close to death. Upon closer examination, Graham discovered the crocodile, shot in the head through the left eye, was alone and helpless. The crocodile had been shot by a local cattle farmer while preying on a herd of cows. Graham took the crocodile home in his boat. For six months, Graham fed the crocodile chicken, fish and medicine, sleeping with it at night in his home. Graham also simulated the chewing of food with his mouth to encourage the crocodile to eat, and gave it kisses and hugs while talking to it and petting it. "Food wasn't enough. The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live," noted Graham. He hid the crocodile in an obscured pond under trees deep in a nearby forest until he obtained the necessary wildlife permits from Costa Rican authorities to own and raise the gravely injured crocodile legally.〔(Crocodile crazy: The man who enjoys giving his dangerous 'companion' kisses and cuddles )〕
