The German Family Living with a Crocodile: Christian Kaulis and the Extraordinary Life of Ms. Meier

Food is always a special event in the household. Once a week, Ms. Meier is served a carefully prepared meal that might include chicken legs, beef heart, or fresh fish. Sometimes, Christian adds variety with a rabbit or even a mouse, explaining that crocodiles thrive on diversity in their diet. The feeding ritual has become almost ceremonial, reminding the family of their circus days when caring for animals was both a responsibility and an act of love.
