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

Christian’s own childhood was inseparable from his crocodile companion. While other children cuddled teddy bears or played with toy cars, he often sat beside Ms. Meier, reading aloud or simply talking to her. He insists she understood him in ways no one else did, offering silent company during lonely moments. To him, the crocodile was never a wild beast but a confidant, as present in his upbringing as any sibling.
