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

Though she has 82 sharp teeth and a body built for hunting, the Kaulis family never describes Ms. Meier as threatening. Instead, they call her affectionate, even cuddly in her own reptilian way. Christian emphasizes that respect is the foundation of their bond. They never treat her carelessly, and she has never given them reason to fear her. The balance between caution and trust has kept their unusual family life harmonious.
