"Pocho is my best friend. This is a very dangerous routine but we have a good relationship. He will look me in the eye and not attack me.

Chito made friends with the croc after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state's Parismina river 20 years ago.
He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death.

He says: "When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house.
I just hope this doesn't end badly one day.
