You must be psychic! (Can you tell me the winning lottery numbers for this weekends Powerball? ) I don’t think it will end well, either. Hopefully, I am wrong and they will grow old together.
Why. Why do people insist that things like this are smart? I hope he has either 1) glued the croc’s jaws shut (which I surely hope he hasn’t done), or 2) keeps this baby well-fed. Cuz when he least expects it…
It’s an American crocodile, the kind they have in South Florida. Its range is much more extensive in Central America and the Caribbean.
They aren’t extremely aggressive (compared to other crocs):

I wouldn’t be doing what this guy is doing, though.
Timothy Treadwell comes to mind. The bear guy. Might have the name wrong.
Yes, that’s his name.
At least this Costa Rican guy didn’t give the croc stupid names like “Chocolate” and “The Grinch.”
Timothy “Bear Poop” Treadwell.
He does it because he believes he has some kind of ‘deep spiritual’ bond with Crocodiles and/or ‘Crocodile Whisperer’ skills. That’s generally the sort of person that ends up getting killed by their wild ‘pets’.
