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.
 
thanks for posting the videos Steve!
that croc is very well conditioned to ignore it's instincts however it only takes one slip...
gorgeous animal!
 
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.
