Man Adopted a 16ft Crocodile as a Pet
Alli Shedden, from Siquirres, found the crocodile, which had a bullet in its head, in a swamp. He took the injured animal home, named it Poncho and nursed it back to health.

 It took him four years to heal the 16 foot crocodile - by which time he says his wife had accepted it.

“He has never done anything to harm me, he knows who I am, it is as if it is a dog, it eats off my hands. When Poncho arrived I was unemployed and now people pay to see me playing with my pet, I want to put together a show, so I can show the world our friendship", said Shedden.
