16. Earning the Animal’s Trust
Chito knew that he had to make the reptile comfortable. So he tried his best to care for him, to feed him and pet him. He explained: “Food wasn’t enough. The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live.”ButChito was keeping the croc illegally on his property, so he had to take it in a pond in a close forest until he got the wildlife permits for him.
