Men with crocodile

CROCODILE WHISPERER

If you thought the legend of the horse whisperer was impressive, here’s An animal tale with even more bite.

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 17-foot crocodile.

The 52-year-old daredevil draws gasps of amazement from onlookers by wading chest-deep into the water, then whistling for his 980-pound buddy – and giving him an affectionate hug.

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.

Chito asked several friends to help load the massive reptile into his boat. He says, “When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house. He was very skinny weighing only around 150 pounds. I gave him chicken, fish and medicine for six months to help him recover.

I stayed by Pocho’s side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, and that not all humans are bad. It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals – especially ones that have suffered.”

It took years before Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to the animal.

He says, “After a decade I started to work with him. At first it was slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more. Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me.”

At one point during his recovery, Chito left the croc in a lake near his house but as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the water and began to follow him home.

Chito recalls, “That convinced me the crocodile could be tame.”

But when he first fearlessly waded into the water with the giant reptile his family was so horrified they couldn’t bear to watch. So instead, he would splash around with Pocho when his family was asleep.

Four years ago Chito showed some of his tricks to friends, including getting the animal to close his eyes on command, and they convinced him to go public with a show.

Now he swims and plays with Pocho as well as feeding him at the lake near his home in the lowland tropical town of Sarapiqui.

The odd couple have now become a major tourist attraction, with several tour operators. Visitors are t Taken on touring cruises to see the pair.

English Mastiff

Posted in Animal planet, Dogs, World Animal planet, World’s Largest Animal  by admin on February 22nd, 2011

The English Mastiff, referred to by virtually all Kennel Clubs simply as the Mastiff, is a breed of large dog descended from the ancient Alaunt through the Pugnaces Britanniae. Distinguishable by enormous size, massive head, and a limited range of colors, but always displaying a black mask, the Mastiff is noted for its gentle temperament. The lineage of modern dogs can be traced back to the early 19th century, and the modern type was stabilised in the 1880s. Following a period of sharp decline, the Mastiff has increased its worldwide popularity.

The former standard specified the coat should be short and close-lying and the color is apricot-fawn, silver-fawn, fawn, or dark fawn-brindle, always with black on the muzzle, ears, and nose and around the eyes.

The greatest weight ever recorded for a dog, 343 pounds (156 kg), was for a Mastiff from England named Aicama Zorba of La Susa, although claims of larger dogs exist. According to the 1989 edition of the Guinness Book of Records, in March 1989, when he was 7 years old, Zorba stood 35 inches (89 cm) at the shoulder and was 8.25 feet (251 cm) from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, about the size of a small donkey. After 2000, the Guinness Book of World Records stopped accepting largest or heaviest pet records.
