Pocho (c. 1950–1960 – 12 October 2011) was an American crocodile from Costa Rica who gained international attention for his relationship of over 20 years with Gilberto "Chito" Shedden, a local fisherman who found Pocho dying on the banks of the Reventazón River and nursed him back to health. The crocodile refused to return to the wild and chose to stay with Chito.
