Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This guy is just asking for it
Ok.. so I think the story and photos are amazing but seriously, even with working with the animal for over a decade, it is still a wild animal and I really feel this guy is taking completely unneccessary risks. Regardless, that is a heck of an impressive croc!

"Man's Best Friend...A 17ft Long Pet Crocodile"
By R Patel 6-12-11
all photos and full story at the link
Rather than trying to tame wild stallions, fearless Costa Rican fisherman Chito prefers a playful wrestle in the water with his best pal Pocho - a deadly 17ft crocodile.

I saw a show on him a while back.
I don't know how he is able to interact with that croc the way he does.
It will be amazing if the thing doesn't just eat him one day.

Seems to be brain damaged from the gun shot. Very slow movements and not much of a feeding response. I wonder if he hand feeds it or it grabs it's food.
