Original Title:Friendship crocodile with the person. The only case in the world! / Very touching / Premiere 2014
Watching this is truly worth your investment in time. This is truly one of a kind story and very difficult to understand. To watch how one 16 foot, one thousand pound, cold blooded reptilian killer bonds with a human and share a friendship, some sort of deeply personal bond for over twenty years is very hard to fathom. The scientist who did the reporting for History HD was agog with what he saw regarding the crocodile-human relationship. He said that he had known instances where crocodiles have befriended humans for as long as ten years, but eventually the crocs gave in to their cold blooded reptilian psyche and ended up eating their human counterpart.
The scientist was so overwhelmed by what he saw, he offered himself up to swim alone with this crocodile to irrefutably validate the reality of just such a thing happening with surprising results between the crocodile and the scientist.

The screen is littered with promos that literally cover up the entire viewing screen . Just delete them by clicking on the x on the top right of each promo. It does take some time.
There’s a guy I work with who lives in Barataria Bay that says there is a wild alligator that he and a few others have befriended. I think it’s crazy but he swims with it and plays around with it.
“I would not give such trust go a ctocodile .”
Nor, would I to a Liberal or Muslim.
One day, that thing’ll be hungry - and “buddy” will be lunch.
If he’s such a pal, invite him to go bowling. I got ten bucks says the tightwad crocodile don’t buy the second round of beers. You’ll find out how friendly crocodiles are when you ask them to pay for something.
‘Hey, crocodile. How about a few bucks to help pay for gas?”
They’ll bite your head off.....or arm......
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed,
Singin’ and jinglin’ the jango
Floatin’ like the heavens above,
Looks like ... reptile love.
Yeah right.
Reminds me of a Mr. Treadwell and his bear friends.
Crocodiles are supremely wily, crafty. Often when coming up to the edge of a river to allow themselves being hand-fed by people who should know better, their heads positioned on high as they swallow the fish being fed, will slowly, almost imperceptibly move back into the water, in the hopes you move in just a little deeper in an effort to continue feeding them, while they're trying to get you deep enough to drag you into the water, grab your head and do a body roll. I see that as the Crocodilian version of Taqiyah.
That is an incredible story and fascinating video.
This seems authentic interaction and not like someone who has merely tamed a wild animal.
Nice doggie...
Thank God the croc probably hasn't seen the Treadwell Bear Video. Might give it some ideas.
What a croc.
At least bears have brains. Reptiles are all id and with rudimentary brain stems.
No, I haven’t yet forgiven them for treeing us mammals for all those years.
Two blondes are knee-deep in swamp, shotgunning alligators then flipping them over.
“You find your size yet?” asks Brandi.
“Size?” replies Tiffany.
“I ain’t found one yet that’s even wearin’ shoes!”
If that pic is real, it features one of stupidest people I have ever seen. What’s next, hand feeding lion prides on the Serengeti?
If you should meet a crocodile
Don’t take a stick and poke him.
Ignore the welcome in his smile
Be careful not to stroke him.
For as he sleeps upon the Nile
He thinner gets and thinner.
And whenever you meet a crocodile
He’s ready for his dinner.
I’d cuddle up to one. In the form of batter-dipped nuggets, jerky, wallets, boots. Otherwise I’m staying where it can’t climb.
Naaaa...he just feeds it a cow once in awhile.
