Keeping a Crocodile as a pet



JapanProbe posted an interesting article about a man in Japan that has a full grown crocodile as a pet. When he first got it, it was small and he could carry it around with him. Now, 23 years later, the pet is over 2 meters long. His owner takes him to work, around town, and even let his his daughter play with the crocodile.

Having see what alligators here in Florida can do, I’m not sure I would want to have one as a pet. Alligators are not nearly as aggressive as crocodiles, but are still very dangerous to humans. So a crocodile has got to be a lot worse. If you want to see what a crocodile can do, check out this video.

The video is in Japanese But I’m posting it here anyway because I think it is cool to watch this guy take his crocodile out for walks. So enjoy.

And for more information and an english summary of the content of the video, check out the original JapanProbe post: Crocodilian Pets in Hiroshima

Petting this pet may be the same feeling as caressing her crocodile purse for a woman.

BTW: the subtitles are very helpful to understand this film.
