Well, folks, it doesn't get much crazier than this. There are lots of wholesome adoption stories on the interwebz, plenty of heartwarming animal rescue videos, etc., but they are usually about dogs or cats. The occasional adorable fox, and perhaps a pig every once in a while. But, have you ever heard about a man rescuing a crocodile, and not only rescuing him, but then becoming a part of his family, performing together, and even causing his first wife to leave him because she was jealous of the crocodile?
This unique animal story has just about everything you could ask for: a jealous ex, an extraordinary bond, and a happy ending. The fisherman found the crocodile and rehabilitated him back to health, named him "Pacho", then released him into the wild. He woke up to find Pacho back on his porch every morning, so the fisherman adopted him. They developed such a strong bond that they ended up performing together for over 20 years. Scroll down to read this crazy croc story below - it's truly one of a kind!
You couldn't pay us to get that close to a crocodile - no matter how domesticated it may be. Although, can you imagine being able to brag to your friends and family that you booped a crocodile snout? That's pretty tempting.
You know how, as a pet owner, you ignore things that other people may notice? Like your dog's breath - others may think it's smelly, but you think it's minty fresh. Do you think his owner thought Pacho had bad breath?
