An Indonesian man was attracted attention by sharing his 23-year-old sympathy with a 4m wild crocodile and even introducing himself as a "child."

According to local daily compasses, when you go to Guntung River in Indonesia's East Kalimantan, Borneo Island, you can see that the villager Ambo (56) feeds a female crocodile named'Riska' with raw chicken.

These crocodiles come almost every day to Mr. Ambo's house.

"If Liscar doesn't show up for two or three days, I go out to find it," said Ambo. "Liscar is like a child to me already."

"I first met Lisca on a boat trip 23 years ago. Lisca was about 1m in size at the time," he said. "I came home without a thought, and the crocodile followed the house."

He added, "I fed a mysterious heart, and it became a bond, and it continues to this day." "My boat's name was Riscara, so I gave it the same name."

During the past two years, when Mr. Ambo left his hometown after getting a job in the city, his wife witnessed the crocodile coming to his home.

At the time, Mr. Ambo told his neighbors, "If crocodiles come, hand them food. Don't play with the food, but give it right away so there is no accident."
No other residents have been attacked by Mr. Ambo and Lisca.

After returning home for two years, Ambo is still close to Lisca.

Feeds them, rubs their back, and bathes them.

Many locals, YouTubers, etc., visit Ambo's house to see it.

Not only Ambo and his neighbors are now familiar with what Liscar looks like.

"I don't know how I got close to Lisca," said Ambo. "There seems to be a relationship between my family and the crocodile."

"It's important to keep the line. Breaking taboos will make wild animals like crocodiles see humans as animals and eat them." If we don't break taboos, crocodiles can help humans. It was hard to believe.
